He loved and cherished his family and found joy in the simple things and in the greatest gift God gives us- Love. His legacy survives him through all the lives he touched, values he taught, being a husband, a daddy, a Paw, a fisherman, a little league coach, and just a really kind hearted, caring Christian man.
