Born on June 6, 1961, in Oxford, Mississippi, he had a strong educational background and chose military service over college.

A lover of magic, Star Trek, and math, he was known for his kindness, building bikes for children in need and creating a beloved Halloween destination. He is survived by his wife Dorene, daughter Christian, grandchildren, and a broad network of family and friends.
