A funeral service will be held at 2 PM Thursday, March 5, 2009 at Dana Baptist Church with the Reverends Dan Blackwell, Michael Engle, and Lincoln Shelton officiating. Burial will follow at Shepherd Memorial Park. The family will receive friends from 6 ñ 8 PM Wednesday, March 4, 2009 at Shuler Funeral Home, and, at other times, the family will be at the home of his mother on Berkley Road.
