Daddy was the happiest when he was spending time with his wife and family. He loved his guitar, singing, fishing and watching his favorite shows. Daddy's lasting gifts to his family are his faith in God, sense of humor, and his unconditional love.
Daddy left us to be with the Lord with his wife by his side on May 5, 2021. He will forever be in our hearts and loved. Until we meet again...rest easy my sweet father. Your job here on earth is complete, and we know you are watching over us until we see you again.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 8, 2021 at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, West Columbia Chapel with interment to follow at Southland Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
