Today, we honor and remember my dad, a hardworking, talented, funny, and unforgettable man who meant so much to so many people.

My dad dedicated 35 years of his life to driving a trailer, working hard to provide for his three children and give us everything he could. He was smart, sarcastic, stubborn, and sometimes short-tempered, but underneath it all was a big heart and a man who always meant well. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and was loved by so many. His friendships and the lives he touched are a testament to the person he was.

He loved to cook, go out, vacation, and enjoy life. Above all, his greatest happiness came from his children and grandchildren. He loved doing for us, making us happy, and giving us the best he could. His love was shown through his sacrifices, his generosity, and everything he did for his family.

Dad, thank you for your hard work, your laughter, your love, and the memories we will cherish forever. We will miss your jokes, your sarcasm, your stubborn ways, and all the little things that made you who you were. We wish we had more time for more meals, more vacations, more laughs, and more moments together.

Your legacy lives on through your children, grandchildren, and everyone fortunate enough to have known you. Though our hearts are broken, we will carry your love and memory with us always.

We love you, Dad. Thank you for everything you gave us. Rest peacefully. You will never be forgotten.
