He went on disability years ago after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. He was dedicated to taking care of his father post stroke for over 14 years until his dad passed away last month. He adored his nieces and always told them how much he loved them. They were his “sweet nieces”. He loved going to Disney World, especially with them, and they loved riding his favorite ride, Haunted Mansion, together. He was a huge Alabama football fan and gave new meaning to the word fanatic. Although he was unable to attend games for years, he enjoyed watching Bama football with his dad. He was an avid reader and loved checking out books from the library and sharing them with his brother, Kyle. He had a special way of lighting up a room with laughter and that is how he will be remembered.The family will receive friends at Mobile Memorial Gardens Funeral Home for Tuesday evening, December 3, 2019, from 5:00 – 8:00 PM.
