Dad passed away peacefully this morning. As many of you know, dad courageously battled acute myeloid leukemia for over 508 days. We are very sad with his passing but thankful for his life and all the joy he brought to us and to all of his friends and family. We were so fortunate to spend quality time with dad here in Houston over the past week and are thankful for the amazing care he received at MD Anderson. Dad gave me one final fatherly lesson with his battle: treat every day as a gift and live that day the very best you can. Dad is now at peace with our Savior. Thank you all for your prayers and love for me and my family. We will be in touch with information about the service. God Bless.
