He was born on August 15, 1966 in Snyder, Texas. Throughout his life he lived and worked in many different places. He married three times.

Caring about his family's well being was important to him. Even though he left before he could buy that plot of land he always dreamed of, he can finally be at peace with his cabin in the sky, sitting on the porch with his dad, overlooking a celestial pond full of fish, waiting for the day we are all together again.
