He loved God and his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was a devoted husband and father. He adored and loved his wife with the most highest compassion. His son Shane was the apple of his eye, he was so proud of the man he became. So thankful for the beautiful wife he brought into our family and gave us a daughter that he loved.
