His days included gardening, raising animals, keeping the vehicles and tractors running, digging and excavating, building his house, hunting, horseback riding and taking care of his parents.
He willingly gave of himself as an elder of the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses for over 45 years, loved to teach others Bible truths, and engaged in volunteer construction work.
He is survived by his children, Colleen, Scott, Shawn, Michael, Joy, and Astrid; his grandchildren, Maverick and Isabel; his two sisters, Carole (Gary) Ford and Linda Lansing, his brother Tom (Hazel) Mitcham and nieces and nephews.
