He had several jobs throughout his life and was able to learn new skills from all of them. He was very proud of his last employment with Tribal Enterprise as a plumber’s assistant. He told his mother, “What I do is nasty and dirty, but when you help someone with their plumbing you should see their faces, so thankful. You got their problem fixed. That makes my day, Mom.” He was always on the go. Fishing, hunting, pretending to go fishing … he just had to be doing something outdoors and enjoying life. He loved music and he loved his family. He was known to have a good sense of humor and had a great smile that everyone loved. He was a very charismatic individual.
