He enjoyed spending time with his family, going to rock concerts, eating at Swadleys BBQ, taking his kids to the movies, and jamming out to his music so loud you couldn't help but feel the rhythm too. He will be remembered for his big smile, his silliness, him stepping in to be a dad to anyone that needed one, the way he would make you laugh whether you were sad or mad, and his loving and caring personality. He is survived by his spouse Roberta Michelle VanDyke, children, Darby Michelle VanDyke, Jarad Randall VanDyke and his spouse Christina Smith, and Brandi Denae VanDyke-Forille and her spouse Hunter Forille, grandchildren Xavian Micheal Jarrack Nelson, son to Sonja Ann Tom, and Connor Flick son to Alicia Shockency, and pet cats Darthy Mae and Niella.
