A man that lived for his family. 

If my father's shoes had holes in them, he'd rather buy everyone shoes before himself.

Hopelessly devoted to our mother, and always trying to sneak her away on a date. 

When we started going to church and he would make sure we are all in our "Sunday Best".

He was a man of action. 

He loved his sweet treats and coffee.

He loved to build camp fires, go on hikes with his family, late night walks, bbq burnt chicken, and having friends over and drink coffee.

He loved to pray early in the morning over his family while walking throughout the house. 

He loved to cheer super loud with his cowbell at football games. 

He loved his 3 cream, 3 sugar coffee and a sweet bread. 

He would forever want to be remembered as the man that was proud of his children, a loving husband, and his faith. 

A super humble man. 

His favorite team was the COWBOYS.

His world revolved around his family and God. 

He loved and gave with all he had day in and day out

He took after his mom with peanuts in Big Red

His favorite song was "Redeemed" by Big Daddy Weave 

Proverbs 20:7, Matthew 6:22
