He had an artistic ability to draw, paint, make arts and crafts from wood and build furniture for his family. He liked to read mysteries. He was a passionate Tennessee Vols football fan. He always listened to them on the radio because watching the game got him too worked up. He worked for the UCHRA in Cannon County as a driver for several years.

Doris, Josh and the other family were at his side during his long battle. He was a long time member of the Woodbury Church of Christ.
