Memorial services will be held at 6:00 p.m. Thursday, February 2, 2017, at the Forest Hills Chapel of Farris Funeral Service, 19415 Lee Highway, Abingdon, VA. A reception will follow the service.
The family expresses their deep appreciation to his new friends, Jessica, Kim, Dickie, Tracy, Brandy, and all the ladies at the infusion clinic who made this journey personal.
