He is also survived by his mother, Brenda Kyle; sisters Timberly (Corky) Hamrick, Tammy (Robin Sizemore); brother William (Julie) Rogers; mother-in-law Louise Runion; and many brother and sister in laws, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and cousins.
He was a wonderful husband, dad, papaw, son, son-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, friend, co-worker, and person in general. He always knew how to put a smile on everyone’s face. He loved with his whole heart and will be missed tremendously.
