Calvin married Grace Lavern (Jones) Eubanks on May 24, 2023, beginning a chapter of life that brought him great joy and companionship.

A man of the Baptist faith, Calvin carried his beliefs with quiet strength and sincerity. He will be remembered for his quick wit, his contagious laughter, and his remarkable ability to light up a room the moment he walked in.
