A devoted man of God, he enjoyed volunteering his time at church teaching Sunday school, helping at VBS, aiding at afterschool programs and playing bass in the band. He was know for his generous spirit, always willing to help those in need or less fortunate. He was always teaching someone to fish, hunt or helping them to repair their car.
