He received his education within the Jefferson Independent School District and was a member of 1984 class at Jefferson High School, during which time he developed his passion for football.

On December 21, 2000, he united in marriage to Felicia Lynette Harris, his lifelong love.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, one niece and one nephew.
