He began his ministry at the age of sixteen, and touched many lives throughout his life. His passion for the Word emanated from every part of his life, and he instilled the love of Christ in his family, and everyone he knew.

He was an encouraging, comforting, and dependable servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
