A beloved son, father, grandfather, and friend has left us behind. He will be deeply missed by the countless lives he touched with his unwavering passion and love. A die-hard Alabama fan, and Avid Nascar fan. With a special appreciation of Jeff Gordon. His true pride and joy were his family. He would go to any lengths to support and care for his loved ones, especially his grandchildren, who adored him the same.
As a father, he set an exemplary standard of kindness, patience, and guidance. As a grandfather, he was the epitome of fun, adventure, and unconditional love. He was a wonderful friend and an outstanding member of the community, who would go above and beyond for anyone who needed him. He loved jeeps and in his younger days could usually be found driving the trails. He may be gone, but the memories of his infectious enthusiasm and love will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the loving staff of McGuffey Nursing Home and also to the nurses that helped care for him at Prohealth Hospice.
