He was a Lutheran by faith.
He worked as a printer for 25 years and had his own Goin Mowin lawn care business. His fun passion was fishing. He was a Bass Masters and FLW amateur fisherman in the Southeast. He also loved all the University of Tennessee sports. But, he lived for his family and was a quiet, strong, and ethical influence. His authentic smile will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Davis, Ann Rader and Trent Taylor; and several nieces and nephews.
