While he started out his life doing many things, for the past 45 years he fulfilled his calling as Pastor of Living Word Community Church in Haltom City, Texas.  He retired to Pastor Emeritus in 2014. He passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 7, 2022.  He fought the good fight, finished the course, and kept the faith.  Having completed his earthly journey, he was welcomed into the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He has now entered into the eternal rest, joining with the myriads of angels and the saints that have gone before, gathered around the throne, worshipping the Lord and crying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was and is and is to come!” He left behind a long legacy of many to whom he was a father in the faith. Though we will miss him dearly, we do not grieve as those who have no hope.  Let us rejoice with him as his journey through the wilderness of this world is complete.
