Goat was a beloved husband, Daddy, Paw Paw, and friend. He was a unique, one-of-a-kind, and self-made man. Goat was not afraid of hard work. He was passionate about construction and was a talented salesman. Goat had a magnetic personality that drew others toward him. He was a jokester and known for his love of fishing and Nascar.

He leaves behind a legacy of love for his wife and children, his family that he was so proud of.
