He also leaves behind a multitude of friends and family, and especially the Wildland Firefighter Community.  The genuine camaraderie and espirit de corps that his fellow Wildland Firefighters in his module developed is irreplacable.  A true brotherhood.

He was a caring person, a giving person; never hesitating to help and volunteered his time at the homeless shelter and animal shelter.
