As a father to Owen and Kendric, he remains a pillar of strength and an endless source of love. His dedication to their growth and happiness remains a testament to his boundless affection and unwavering support. Whether he cheered them on from the sidelines, shared in their triumphs, or guided them through challenges, his role as their father was one of his greatest joys.
To Nicole, his wife, he was a true partner in every sense of the word—a confidant, a supporter, and a cherished companion. Their bond is a beautiful reminder of what true partnership looks like, built on mutual respect, deep love, and unwavering commitment.
As a friend, brother, and son, he embodied the qualities of loyalty and kindness. His relationships are marked by genuine care, heartfelt connections, and a willingness to lend a hand whenever needed. His presence brings comfort, laughter, and a sense of belonging to those fortunate enough to know him.
And let’s not forget his love for golf—a passion that brings him joy and relaxation. Whether on the green or off, his enthusiasm and skill are evident, reflecting his approach to life: with dedication, focus, and a touch of fun.
In every role he embraced, he shined brightly, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who know him. His love, strength, and spirit are gifts that enrich our lives daily.

Nikki, Owen and Kendrick….may the memories of happiness carry you through during these difficult times. May his infectious laugh and sense of humor continue to fill our memories. There is no doubt that god’s jukebox just got a new playlist with the new hit of Copperhead Road. May he sing and dance in god’s arms.
