He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren: Dylan (Lynsey) Watson, Braden Watson, Ashton Dannel, and Kaylin Odum; as well as great-grandchildren: Cheyenne Ovitt, Skylan Ovitt, Brylee Dannel, Tinley Odum, and Ella Odum.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM in the chapel of Coulter Garrison Funeral Home, with Bro. Clyde Fitzgerald officiating. The family will receive friends from 1:00 PM until the time of service.
