During his life time he was the Head Coach / Math teacher at Billingsley High School , worked for R.J. Reynolds tobacco company and finally was an ordained Baptist Minister at Evergreen Baptist Church in Autauga County. He loved his family including all their pets but he loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ above all, he was a very humble man; a soft spoken "gentle giant", helping others in any way he possibly could. The words he probably heard upon entering Heaven were "Well done, my good and faithful servant". Visitation will be Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at Ridout's Prattville Chapel from 5:00pm until 7:00pm.
