A large circle of people counted him a fierce and loyal friend, whether childhood friends, high-school classmates that he saw on a regular basis, members of his church and Sunday School, or the doctors and nurses that saw him thru some difficult years. He was a faithful member of Blackshear Place Baptist Church and never missed an opportunity to share his testimony of faith in Christ. Though he had been thru many struggles, overcoming cancer at age 19 and battling the resulting heart disease for the past 4 years, he never ceased to have a joyful and optimistic outlook on life. He took great joy in living every day
