He got up every morning and got a cup of coffee from McDonalds with 6 creams and 12 sugars and watched the news before he started running us all everywhere before he headed to work at Fast Eddies, which he loved. He also enjoyed spending time with family and friends, playing pool, cookouts & listening to music. He wrote poems, liked to draw and just create things, and you best believe everything he made had lights and color. He did all of his creations in his man cave which he was very proud of and spent a lot of time in there.
