Besides his Mother he is survived by his daughter Alyssa, sister Cindy and friend Doris Page.

Besides his Father he is predeceased by his grandmother Gladys Northup and grandfather Earl and Vernon Northup and grandparents Sandy Lewis and Hazel (Fenton)

He loved being a concrete truck driver and it was one of his best traits that he would talk about all day and the endless adventures it took him on. He was always tying knots or looking for the next lock to pick. He loved his three dogs and enjoyed four wheeling, just being in the woods made him happy.

He loved playing video games and being on Facebook when he wasn’t in Facebook jail.

He always enjoyed being with childhood friends especially Derrick and Terry who were like cousins and they all called him “Dirty”.

Thank you to Joey Clarke for being there for him throughout the years and to Doris Page for her friendship.
