His favorite pastimes included reading his bible, attending church services, sharing his faith through prayer and testimony, watching wrestling and western movies. He also enjoyed being outdoors with his animals, dogs and horses. If you did not know, our dad loved to recycle.

Throughout our lifetime, our dad would teach us the gifts that God gave us and we truly believe our dad’s gift was his love for helping his family and others in need. Our father’s humbleness, kind-hearted, loving, generous, friendly, funny and faithfulness to God was remarkable. Anyone who met him would tell you the same. We Love you and we will always miss you Dad. We will cherish the memories, prayers and teachings you shared and pass them on.  We will see you again.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will reward it to me, on that day – and not only to me. But also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

2 Timothy 4:7-8
