Those of us that knew him, knew him as kind, compassionate and nice to everyone he met. He had an easygoing and gentle nature that anyone could get along with. He was generous and was there for you if you ever needed him. Above all was his love for animals. Here however are some things you may not of known about him. He loved music. Some of his favorites were; The Beatles, Rush, The Dukes of Straosphere, Throwing Muses, New Pornographers, Skyhooks and so many more. As you can see however, he was not limited to popular music. He would dig deep for new music no matter how obscure. He loved football and was an avid Seattle Seahawks fan. He liked to play XBox with his cousins and his friends. Especially the EA Sports Hockey series which he played from the very first on his Sega Genesis. He was funny and his sense of humor was askewed enough to make him even funnier. He was earth and eco friendly. He would garden, compost and recycle. He liked to cook and sometimes healthy. When his garden would come in, he would juice his own produce. Not only did he love animals, he rescued them literally. I'm not sure that we could count how many animals he had over his lifetime but there is no doubt that he loved every single one of them. If there was ever a cause that he would get behind more than any other, it would be animal care and rescue. This is why we have added a way to donate to the Kitsap Humane Society. If, like us you would like to do something in his honor but are at a loss, we would ask that you give generously to this great cause in his name. Please use this site to sing his praises in the comment section and thank you for joining us here.
