He loved to ride four wheelers and in his early years built dune buggies which he raced for several years. He married a rival Orem girl, Judy, in 1982 and they were sealed in the Provo Temple. He was a kind and gentle man who attracted many friends throughout the years. His family misses him very much and looks forward to the time they can be together with him again.
