He was a devoted Southern Baptist and brought his family up to serve the Lord, he had most recently become a member of North Shelby Baptist Church.

He looked forward to days of fishing and boating, warm sunny days at the beach, and one would say he had a soft spot in his heart for all animals.

His legacy will live on through the love he poured into his family.
