He played with multiple bands, and ended his last gig at North Way Christian Community – Dormont as he played for Jesus. He was a true Christian man, holding Bible studies at home and regularly played drums in the church worship group. Most of all he had a passion for cooking and bringing his family together. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

I am so sorry for your loss, Heidi. God´s got another soldier in his army. Thinking of you and your family at this sad time.
When we understand him the least is when we must trust him the most.
I pray God wraps his arms around you and you know without a doubt that he´s with you every step of the way.
