Carleen hopes her son will be remembered as a loving father, husband, and selfless protector. She said his loyalty was unmatched and he was the backbone of their family.
“He was loyal to everyone he cared about,” she added. “He always stopped to help the homeless. Even if it wasn’t very much he still helped with what he had. He put everybody before himself.”
