He preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, James and Joann Welch and his paternal grandparents, Calvin and Henrietta Arts. He was a loving, happy and passionate person all the time to not only his family but his friends. He was humble and trusting friend, he was always in a good mood and was especially close to his brother Cee.
