He loved being the center of attention. He had a big ear to ear smile and loved to play pranks. He loved to hold hands and to be held. Being outside in the sunshine swinging, floating in the pool and hiking to waterfalls and camping in the woods were his favorite things to do. He also loved playing with his sister, Daisy and all his cousins. He was the biggest BYU fan and loved spending his Saturdays with his dad watching the games.
