Bubba was one of God’s greatest gifts. He was very close to his mother, who loved him more than life itself. We know that the Lord had stronger plans for him and while we may never know why, we do know that we will see him again.

Bubba had so many truly good friends that it would be hard to name them all, but there are a few very special friends that the family would like to acknowledge: Lyle, Tim, Adam, Jeff, Greg and Nick. They were like brothers, where one went, the others followed and we are very grateful that Bubba had them in his life. Bubba had a heart of gold and will forever be remembered that way.

Bubba was born and raised in Pensacola and lived each and every day to the fullest. One of his greatest passions was to be at the beach all alone and feel the presence of the Lord. Bubba also had a great love for music, playing it, singing it or writing it. He put his heart and soul into every song. With his bright blue eyes and his beautiful smile he touched the lives of so many and will be dearly missed by all.
Memorial service will be 2  p.m. Saturday July 7, 2012, at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North, 1000 Hwy 29, Cantonment with Rev. Mark Torrez officiating. The family will receive friends at Faith Chapel North one hour prior to the service on Saturday.
