At the age of 18, he joined the army and ended up spending time in Germany. He loved it there and always joked that if the army knew how much fun he had, they would kick him out.

Calvin was and remained a very loving, devoted father.
He could tell the best stories. They were funny stories but the way he told them made them way funnier because he would be laughing so hard, you couldn't help but laugh.
Calvin loved his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids and always had time to play with them or hug and love on them.
Calvin passed away on December 28, 2023 in Greeley, Colorado after a battle with Alzheimer's. He will be missed so much but we also rejoice knowing he's in Heaven!
