He was born in Moore County on June 26, 1987. After he graduated from Scotland County High School he worked

impact on all of their clients. His heart was as big as his smile. He was willing to give anything to help those he
loved no matter the cost. He enjoyed time at home with the love of his life and enjoyed his gardens and dog, Zeek.
