He served in the US Air Force during the Vietnam War, he was 51 years old and leaves behind his mother, daughter, grandson, and me.

Funeral arrangements have been made with Roy Akers Funeral Home in Sn Antonio and he will be interred at the Fort Sam Houston, Texas, National Cemetery on Monday, 11 January 2001
