He was a proud, loving father, husband, son, friend, and grandfather. He loved all sports, especially baseball and NASCAR. His favorite team was the Astros. He enjoyed music and concerts and had

extremely eclectic tastes from his parents’ influence. He was a true Texan at heart. He was loyal and loved his friends but truly considered everyone as family. He liked so much to be silly and found humor to be a joy, that he emitted as often as he could. He loved traveling, especially to the mountains and making memories. He always had a smile and offered comfort to whoever needed it. He made such an impact in all our lives, and we'll never be the same without him.

He will live on in our hearts forever.
