He was preceded in death by his sisters Anne Duke and Jean Hartley, and his brother Jerry Mixon.

I love you so much dad. Today will be so hard, But I know you’re in a better place. It was just really tough not to be able to say goodbye. I know you’re with the Lord now. And that gives me so much peace. I love you more than words can say I will never stop.
