My dad was absolutely amazing. He was my full back. If I ever needed advice I knew I could call him and he would be honest and tell me what is best for me. He was always standing behind me
on anything I did. During the baseball season he was my number one fan. If there was anything that needed to be said he would say it. He always told me to find the best in things . Dad will always be watching over us. We will continue to make him proud. Rest in Paradise Dad.

Dad never liked to just sit and do nothing he always needed a hobby and he had a lot of them.
Through the years Dad did everything from go-Carting to Paintballing to gold mining and that’s Just the beginning. Dad could do just about anything he put his mind to. There was never a dull moment with Dad! I will miss him so much.Along with so many other people. I love you so much..

Dad adored our Dog “Precious” he loved her more than you could ever imagine. Everything that would go on, good or bad, he would always find the better.
