He loved to fish, it was a life long passion along with playing softball. He ran track and played football. He was an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys. More than anything else other than preaching, he loved his guitars and would sing at the drop of a hat. He will always be remembered and the song his mom loved the most to hear him sing was, “Center of My Joy” and Uncle Sam's song was “Stand”, and Amber and Sandra loved, “I Don't Want No Rocks to Cry Out For Me”.
