He had a passion for life and enjoyed many hobbies such as listening and playing music, comedy, drawing, adventuring, and luxury cars. He was also known for his love of his dogs, the Raiders and Warriors, tattoos, any celebration, and his indigenous culture. He was a very handsome, charismatic, silly, sweet heart of a man and will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
