He was born in 1942 in Kilgore, Texas and raised in Logansport, Louisiana. He later moved to Marshall, Texas where he married the love of his life, Donna Greer and raised their family.

He is survived by his wife Donna; his daughter Wendy Sparks (Todd) of Conway, Arkansas, and son Timothy Greer (Laura) of Lavaca, Arkansas; two grandsons, four granddaughters, and three great-grandsons.
