He was a loyal husband, father and friend who was loved and respected by many. In his 80 years of life he raised 9 children, spoiled 17 grandchildren and was privileged to have 22 great grandchildren.
He is a legend in the oilfields of West Texas and held tight to the belief that hard, honest work in everything you do is the goal you should always chase. He exemplified this ideal until the moment he drew his last breath.
While those of us who loved him are missing him greatly we know he is celebrating in heaven with many loved ones who went before him. If you would like to honor his life and legacy, his family asks that you make donations in his name to the charity of your choice.
Visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at Ellis Funeral Home. There will be a Funeral Service at 1:00 p.m. at Ellis Funeral Home Chapel on Thursday, September 3, 2015.
Honorary Pall Bearers are Don Judson, Mark Dehlinger, Richard Coates, Willie Black, Tuffie Locke, Keith Courts, and Dale Sumrall.
