He attended Lake Forest Elementary, League Middle School, and Wade Hampton High School where he made and maintained many lifelong friends. He also attended Winthrop College, and North Greenville College. He spent many years as an insurance broker.

Victor was a history buff, and was constantly reading to fulfill his love of knowledge. He was also a published author and wrote several novels and short stories of different genres. Victor had an uncanny memory and could recall details and tell stories from high school like no other. His wicked sense of humor kept the people around him entertained, and he would actively engage anyone in a debate. He loved old movies, Prince, and was a huge Gamecocks fan. Victor had recently found a passion for Orthodox Christianity. He believed and boldly claimed that Jesus was his Lord and Savior.

Victor had many friends whom he considered family. They rallied around him when he was diagnosed taking him to appointments, taking him meals, cleaning his apartment, and simply spending time with him. A special thank you to Terry Elgin his lifelong best friend for being such a loyal, faithful friend to the very end.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 3:00 at Mackey Funerals and Cremations at Woodlawn, 1 Pine Knoll Dr. Greenville, SC 29609.
