I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of such a good friend. We shared many wonderful memories together, especially on our ski trips — his humor, warmth, and unforgettable smile always lit up the slopes. He brought joy to every moment, and his absence will be felt deeply. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during this difficult time.

I met your dad several times up in Smithville. My husband and I owned a cabinet shop up there and that him multiple times at Curtis’s football parties and NASCAR parties and he was such a hoot. He was such a fun guy and a very kind man and always made me feel comfortable. I am so sorry for your loss.

Well Bro, We’ve had some good times together, whether it was in a duck blind, on the golf course or just Bull S___ing around the house. We’ve discussed politics, trucks, work issues and many other topics. It was always a joy to be in your presence. You typically brought a friendly smile and laughter to any occasion. You will be missed dearly. If there are golf courses up there, hit’m long and straight. Heaven, get ready for a fun loving guy.
