He was a loving husband, father, Poppy, brother, son, uncle and friend. He attended Kingsbury High School. Throughout his childhood he learned the auto body business at his uncles shop in downtown Memphis. In 1981, he began welding with the Dover elevators plant in Horn lake, MS. In 1983, he began installing elevators through the National Elevator industry Local 30 in Memphis. Over the course of his career he worked with Dover, Otis, and Armor to name a few. Some notable installations he was a part of were Morgan Keegan downtown, Lebonhuer Children’s Hospital, International Paper, Baptist East, and various other hospitals in West Tn. In 2008 he worked in Las Vegas through Mitsubishi Elevators on the third tower of the Panorama Towers. He was very proud to be a part of that job. When elevator jobs were slow, he always knew someone at a local auto body shop that gave him work.

They loved to attend Memphis Tigers football games with their kids and grandkids, as well as make their annual beach trip. He loved his family very much.
