Oh Dad, the one who always seemed to make me laugh, and also told me exactly how it was. He loved big and he loved hard! My story is a little different... I met my dad when I was 21 years old. I had grown up my whole life not knowing how amazing he was. The first night I met him I remember after all the initial hello's- he pulled me over to the side. He said "I want to show you something ". He pulls out his wallet. He takes out this ragiddy old piece of paper and unfolds it. In the middle of it is a picture of me when I was 6 months old. The paper... my birth certificate. He had carried my birth certificate and my picture in his wallet for 21 years! I knew he was going to be a major part of my life from then on out and boy was I right! He helped shape me into the woman I am today. He showed me how a man should treat the woman he loved and made sure I knew I deserved nothing less!!! I am unbelievably blessed that he was able to walk me down the aisle when I finally married that man! He was a great Papa to all his grand babies and we are all going to miss him so badly! I am so grateful for the memories I do have and the time I have spent with him and the rest of my family. I love you infinity times infinity Daddy!! Fly high and hey, do me a favor... Give heaven some Hell!! ❤️
In Loving Memory of My Dad
It's hard to put into words the pain of losing my father, but even harder not to speak about the incredible man he was. After a brave fight with cancer, he left this world—but not without leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and love.
My dad was one of the most outgoing people you could ever meet. He could strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere—and by the end of it, they’d be smiling, maybe even laughing, as if they’d known him for years. He had that rare kind of warmth that made people feel instantly at ease.
He was full of life, always ready with a joke, a story, or a big, contagious laugh. He made our home a place of light and joy, no matter what was going on. And above all, he was loving—fiercely and endlessly. You never had to wonder how much he cared; he showed it every single day, in the way he supported us, protected us, and cheered us on through everything.
I miss him deeply already, and I know I always will. But I find comfort in the memories, the lessons he taught me, and the love he gave so freely.
Rest easy, Dad. Thank you for being you.

Who would make me smile in so many ways I loved him so much it was my grandpa and I cannot believe I was right there when he died and I was right when we walked in he took his last breath and passed away. It was so hard but I know he’s in a better place and he’s not struggling. He’s not in pain anymore and I know he’s always in my heart, but it’s so hard to say goodbye
My dad was such a great man who loved everyone so hard. He had a contagious laugh, could drink beer all night, loved to give everyone the finger, and if he was too nice to you, you'd think he was sick. My dad has left a huge hole in my life and will be deeply missed by all who knew him!
My dad was an amazing man!! He is so missed by everyone who knew him. We had so many great memories!💔😭
