He was in ROTC and was an Army Veteran. He had an insane work ethic up until his illness. People have stated, “You could always count on him 110%”. His love of teaching from the Bible, spoke highly of his character and who he was. The members of his life group were our cherished friends. He was elected Sertoman of the year multiple times as his devotion to this organization was important, until his illness.
