He is survived by his children Kyle and Lacey; grandson, Taven; siblings Pat Mangum, Sharon (Don) Hooker, Dwayne (Susan) Hinze, Leslie (Patti) Hinze, Gary (Juli) Hinze, Edra (Randy) Bierschwale, Terry (Nancy) Hinze and Alan Hinze; in-laws Sue Hinze and Kelley Smith and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. He is also survived by his first love, Pamela Gulley. The family is very grateful for the happy times they shared. He was truly blessed and is greatly missed.
