Our beloved family friend passed away. He was a true animal-lover.

He would always bring his Blackjack to us, and then his next pup Jilly. He was very passionate about his late wife, his amazing daughter, and his many pets... his crazy mule, cumbersome goats, funny chickens... you name it, he tried it.

His daughter and I were talking at his service about his delicious homegrown Purple Cherokee Tomatoes. That we will never taste those badboys again.

If we saw him outside sitting alone, we would stop and visit. He always had something to talk about.. whether it be going to his favorite Mexican restaurant or going to TN to hang with friends.

He fought a hard road of medical battles the last 5 years, but one thing is for sure, his contagious smile never dimmed.

Many times going into surgery, he would voice is concern for his Jilly, if something happened to him. I promised him that I would always make sure she was taken care of and spoiled the same way he did.

We were saddened to lose such a character and wonderful man.

When I got the call from his daughter, I hung up the phone and drove straight to her house. I was honored to bring Jilly home to decompress and receive the love she so dearly needed during this hard time in her life.

She is doing great with her new friends, and we believe it is her time to explore her next adventure in life.
