For more than 60 years, he faithfully served as a
pastor, ministering to congregations across Marshall,

and guidance during difficult times. In addition,
he dedicated more than 20 years to Kairos Prison
Ministry, where he brought hope and encouragement
to those behind prison walls. He was an employee at

anyone who knew him experienced his kindness,
warmth, and genuine care.

Sand Mountain Family Practice, Shepard’s Cove Hos-
pice, and CenterWell Home Health for the compas-
sionate care and support shown during his final days.

love, and service will continue to live on in all who
knew him.
