His passion in life was playing music from the age of 12 years old. As he got older, he started his first country band, Country Showman, to ending up playing Gospel Music for his Lord with family and friends.
The Love of his life was his wife and children, and especially his grandchildren. He also loved to take his family and friends out on his pontoon boat, play cards, video games with his grandchildren, and play darts in his spare time. As he got older, he decided to put a pool in the back yard for swimming and playing volleyball with the family.
