He graduated from Winterville High School and served four years in the Air Force where he earned the rank of Airman First Class. He was stationed in Texas, California, Alaska, and Virginia.

He is also survived by a brother in law and sister in law Ed and Frances Spivey, sister in law Pearl Tucker, and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
