Although he was only given 21 years with us, he saw more of the world than most of us will ever see. He was an explorer and adventurer. He was an outdoorsmen starting at a young age at YMCA Camp Sloper as a camper, then as a camp lifeguard, and enjoyed exploring outdoor areas all over the world in his teen and adult years.

He passed doing what he loved, in a place he loved, the wilderness of Montana.

He loved to travel, and was an adventurous foodie. He was always willing to help you finish your meal.

He was a diehard gamer, who particularly enjoyed D&D, Star Wars Commander, & Magic the Gathering, even traveling around the world for tournaments.

He was honest and forthright and did what he wanted. He was silly and brought so much joy and laughter to his family.
