He was a Pastor, coal Miner, and a faithful servant to God his whole life. He had a devotion and deeply rooted Love for his wife and family. He was affectionately known, was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked with love, compassion, and unwavering faith in God.
