A person larger than life itself served in the Air Force as a Sergeant, was a Methodist preacher and worked for the City of Tuscaloosa until his retirement. He loved the Lord and was the best Christian that I ever knew. He loved to cook, gave it all away and could outfish most. He loved to travel, loved Gospel singing, loved his family and friends and was a wonderful caregiver. He would do anything to help anyone and would speak up and stand up for what he believed to be right. He loved flowers, birds and Christmas lights. He was known for his outstanding BBQ sauce.

He would say to you - Let me tell you about my Jesus - one more time

Honorary pallbearers are Don Wallace, Zion's Way Quartet, and Resound Trio.
