"I wanted to share with everyone that my sweet dad passed away. He was diagnosed with MDS (a bone marrow disorder) and Leukemia earlier this year. He fought hard for seven months but his body just gave out. He passed away peacefully Sunday evening. He was a wonderful, sweet and kindhearted man, father and grandfather. We are heartbroken and miss him so much but are at peace knowing he is together again with our mom in heaven. I know he was greeted in heaven by my mom and other family and friends who passed before him. We will have a service at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in McKinney at a later date."
