He was a member of St. Maurice United Methodist Church where he helped collect offerings when he was younger. He adored his niece Heather Coolman and loved her like she was his own. He held many jobs through the course of his life but was known for being a mechanic. He never met a stranger and always was willing to help others in need. It didn’t matter if it were day or night, he answered the call to help someone fix a car or tow someone off the side of the road. He was always there for anyone in need. He was a good-hearted man and will forever be loved and missed by all, but especially his parents.
