On December 13, 1958 he married the love of his life, Inez Medina in Price, Utah and they went on to have a beautiful marriage and ministry that lasted 50 years. He was an ordained minister of the Assemblies of God for over 50 years, with the last 35 years serving as a Pastor in the Salt Lake City area.

He was loved and respected by his family, congregation and others in the Christian community for his love, compassion and spiritual guidance.
