He was a hero to countless thousands, a husband who loved with faithful commitment, a father who led first and always by his own example, a grandfather who cherished each precious child, a speaker who inspired and challenged everyone to become all they are created to be, a camp director who created an environment where all were included and welcome, a business owner who built a legacy by giving more than he ever received, a singer who ushered in the presence of the Holy Spirit, and a man after God’s own heart.
He was founder and director of Circle A Ranch, a Crown IBO with Amway, and a graduate of Westmont College and Fuller Theological Seminary. He wrote the books Say Yes to Your Potential and Daily Disciplines, and created the Dynamic Living Seminar and the Thrive Study Series.
He loved like Jesus loved and lived like Jesus lived.
He was a beacon of LIGHT in this world.
May the loss of his physical presence remind us all of how much of him lives inside us.
May we carry on his legacy in whatever ways he inspired us to do so.
His ultimate goal in life was to become a channel for the love of God to flow. As he passed from this world and into the next, he was greeted with the words he has always longed to hear: Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.
Skip was husband to Susan; father to Cindy (Jim), Kim (Scott, deceased), Melody (Chris), and Stephen (Jenni); grandfather to Stephanie (Austin), Samantha (Zach), Brenna, Kayla, Smith, and Aubrie; great-grandfather to Kyra, Bradley, ZJ, and Aziah; brother to Richard (Carolyn). The family will be holding a private funeral, and then will host a Celebration of Life open to everyone on July 10th at 2:00 pm at Element Church in Tampa, FL. The celebration will be live-streamed so that anyone can attend.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to Circle A Ranch for the continuing ministry of reaching people with the message of Jesus and Dynamic Living. Gifts can be given at https://pages.donately.com/circlea/campaigns
