He was a loving and gentle man who loved life.  He loved his family and always put them first.  He enjoyed wrestling, Spanish music, fishing, telling jokes and being with family.  He loved everyone no matter who you were.  He served proudly in the Army and National Guard. 

He will be missed by many.
