He loved spending time with family, the Broncos, fishing, bowling, Camping, & Travelling

But those are just the details…

There aren’t enough words to describe him, and what an impact he had on so many people’s lives. He loved everyone he encountered and wanted to help and guide anyone who needed it. He was the definition of a good man, and had a calm way of commanding respect. We can’t count the number of people who spent time around the Peck bar. Everyone always had a wonderful time with him.

He had a wonderful sense of humor and flipped the bird just as much as he gave out hugs. He was a wonderful story teller, and many of his stories have been told, and retold, and told again.

He had a brilliant mind, and was always willing to tackle any problem that came his way. He worked hard and gave 200% to everything he did. He never complained, and was always good-natured.

The family would like to give you our condolences as we know it is a hard loss for all of you, as well. We were all made better by having him in our lives.

Memorial may be made to the Humane Society of Weld County.
