He was a selfless, loving Brother, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, and Friend. He enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his family.
He was a great cook, and he always had a story or joke to tell.

He leaves behind lifelong partner, Pat Mounteer; sister Sara Klein; brother Pete; children Toddy, Tina (Kim) Brown, Casey, Kelly (Lori), and Ken; 17 Grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
