He loved God and would tell family to trust in him for all things.

He loved to be with his family and friends and enjoyed making everyone around him laugh. He would do imitations of celebrities. And he loved to joke around. He made several songs through AI for family and friends.

He was very outspoken about things going on in the world and would speak his mind. He was extremely excited about the Artemis 2 mission and future missions to the moon.

He wrote 2 books and published them under the pen name Victor Ash. He had a 3rd book scheduled for publication in July 2026. He was also working on an AI movie for his first book.

He will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives he touched.
