          "Don’t worry, I am in the arms of Jesus now.  Here are some things I want you all to hear.  I accepted Jesus as my Savior on January 16, 2022, in a small church in my hometown of Lexington called Grace Chapel.  I sat down with my Pastor, Charles Barton, who has been more than a friend.  I want my family and friends to know, I love them and if I ever hurt them, I am truly sorry.  See I loved big, and I never met a stranger in my life.  If I called you buddy or brother/sister, that is how I felt about you.  Know that in the end, we are family.  Please find Jesus.  I loved to fish, hunt, and shoot guns.  I am a good aim.  I loved hanging out with friends and family and riding around with my side chick.  I loved to make people laugh, telling jokes and talking lots of crap.  I enjoyed chicken fights, talking to old timers, and going to work with my Uncle Gary.  I worked as a farm hand and for the City of Lexington for a short time.
