He rarely met a person he couldn't make laugh or smile with his huge personality, infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes. He enjoyed anything fast, especially ATVs and motorcycles, spending time with his two nephews, godsons Jake Wyble and Brody Pizzolato, making people laugh, being the life of any party, and collecting as many animals for pets as he could.
