He was an avid soccer player, coach and fan. He also loved the Texan football team and had a ritual of wearing certain Texan gear on game days.

Survivors include his mother, Lee Ann Thornton, 2 children Zach Tanner and Briana Broderick, both of Texas; 2 grandsons; sisters, Carol Mays, Jean (Glen) Gallo and Cathy (Jim) Hargrove; a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and good friends.
