On June 17, 2000, he married Cassandra Jones and they were blessed with four beautiful children. In 2009 he joined First Gospel Tabernacle, where he taught the Adult Sunday School Class.

He touched so many lives with his testimony of being in the hospital 56 times and God did bring him out. He told his testimony everywhere he went. His two favorite scriptures were, Psalms 34:1, “I will bless the Lord at all times and his praises shall continually be in my mouth’ and Hebrews 10:35 “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward”.
