He married Mary Creel on August 14, 1970 in Houston, Texas. He worked as a facility maintenance engineer for TIRR for 25 plus years. He served in the National Guard until he was medically discharged. He was a member of the West University Church of Christ and served many years as a deacon. He loved to fish, take short trips on the weekends, loved silly TV shows, played word games on his phone and cherished his family most of all. Even though he spent his last days in the hospital he knew that there were bigger things waiting for him in Heaven. He prayed for a swift and fast ascension to his place next to our Heavenly father.
