In life, he enjoyed a myriad of social activities; tabletop roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Vampire the Masquerade, and Werewolf the Apocalypse; playing airsoft and video games with his friends and children; and, gardening in his yard for a little quiet contentment and some home-grown vegetables; and, lastly, he enjoyed his days with his beloved children dreaming of their future.
