He will missed by all who knew and loved him deeply and the many churches where he sang and worked with the youth from his high school years until he was too sick to continue. However, he regularly prayed for many who were on his heart.

Although we miss him greatly, it brings this family peace knowing he is now singing with the angels in Heaven, which has been his life-long dream and mission. He lived an honorable life and we all know how much he loved his His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He looked forward to seeing The Throne of God.
