A man of integrity, loyalty, and quiet strength, he believed that family was life’s greatest blessing. He worked tirelessly to provide for those he loved and led by example, showing through his actions the value of hard work, faithfulness, humility, and treating others with kindness and respect. He enjoyed playing golf, grilling, dancing, watching the Dallas Cowboys, and just about anything on ESPN.
