He also was blessed to have many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. He leaves a legacy of a wonderful family, who will honor his life by modeling the philosophy he lived by-integrity, work ethic, devotion to family and a love of life. He was defined by his love of family and commitment to helping those in need. He was always giving in life, and in his death he donated his corneas to help restore the gift of sight to others.
