He is survived by his grandson Xavier and his three beautiful daughters Rhiannon, Zoey, and Paisley; his loving family: girlfriend Candace, step son Cylus, brother Joey, brother Nick, sister Ally, nephew Able, mother Sharri, aunt Dottie, and cousins Anna, Jackie, Jessica, and Rebekah.

~Genesis 9:6~
“whoever sheds the blood of man by man”
“Shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God,”
“Has God created many.”

I’m Free

“Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.



Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.



Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now,
“He set me free.”
