He loved life, music, hunting, fishing, and making people laugh. In 2005, he was the most respected pitcher in the All-American Little League, pitching a no hit game. He was a respectful and loving son, grandson, brother, uncle, and friend, and everyone loved him. Everyone he came in contact with, he turned their sadness into happiness. He brought joy into everyone’s life, especially his nieces and little brothers.
