About Me
I lost my only baby. He was 18 and spent most of his life with me as his sole parent. He died of an overdose of PERSCRIPTION DRUGS (morephine) that came from a drugstore. I guess I am what you call "oilfield trash" but I always tried to be a good role model for all children. I been called 3 things in my life that I am proud of; "Dad", "Coach", and you "SOB". The last may offend some, however as Churchhill said, "If you have made enemies in your life, I salute you, for it means you took a stand for something."

Interests
I want to make parents aware of the dangers of PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, and how they get into the hands of our children. I am presently working toward being a motivational speaker for parents and children. I have been asked before by coaches and minister, but was not ready. I'd really like to make a difference.

Close Bereavement
: Loss of a ChildThe loss of my only "baby" turned my life upside-down. Death is not only the loss of a life, but the loss of a Dream. Everything that you believed in, or thought and dreamed comes under review and debate. I decieded that I am probably the best example of a parent that worried so much about my son's Future, I forgot that I had to keep him alive today. One person said,"Well, you just lived thru the boy too much." My stern rebuke,"No sir, I lived With Him!" My son died of an overdose of morephine.
