He was a proud volunteer firefighter and enjoyed spending time outdoors and with his family. In his younger years, he loved riding motorcycles, four-wheelers, and dune buggies. He especially enjoyed building three-wheelers with his sons and making memories taking his children for rides on the “Green Machine.” Above all, he treasured the time spent with his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Bertha Leuty; his son, Donnie; his brothers, LeVon “Vonnie,” Tom, and Paul; and his sister, Sharon.
