In loving memory of a man of service, who deeply believed that "Service is what qualifies us for Heaven".

His dedication to his faith was unwavering and was reflected in every aspect of his life. He had a zest for life and found happiness in the simple things like riding in his Rhino and visiting friends and family.

He loved using his tractor to plow his neighbors’ driveways in the winter and till their gardens in the fall and spring. He enjoyed buying soup from Maddox and delivering it to those who were sick. His dedication to his faith, love for his family, and commitment to service will continue to inspire all who knew him. He will be deeply missed.
