He was born January 20, 1974, in De Queen, Arkansas. He was a Senior Engineer for Windstream for 26 years. He loved Yahuah and was very strongly rooted in his faith. He enjoyed reading, learning, and sharing his knowledge of the Bible with everyone that was willing to listen. He also loved studying the law, both Biblical and Constitutional. He was the smartest man you could know and a hard worker who never did anything halfway. He was a loving husband and father who was always up for playing a board game and drinking coffee with his family…and then bragging about winning.
