We remember a devoted father who approached life with unwavering dedication and an eye for excellence in all he did. His commitment to providing for his family was matched only by his generous heart and gentle spirit. Whether he was enjoying the great outdoors or simply spending time with those he loved, his kindness touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we find comfort in the countless memories of a man who lived with purpose, loved deeply, and left an indelible mark on all our lives. He will be profoundly missed and lovingly remembered always. A funeral service will be held 11:00am Saturday, June 7, 2025 at McHenry Funeral Home. A graveside service is to follow at Locke Cemetery.
