He loved to drag race, working on cars (mainly FORD) and watching his OU Sooners. Most importantly he deeply loved spending time with his family, watching his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids in their sports and visiting with his friends.
Cremation will take effect, and a service will be held at Rindt Erdman Funeral Home in Arkansas City, KS on Thursday July 10, 2025 at 2:00PM, followed by a private graveside at Riverview Cemetery.
