He is survived by his loving girlfriend, Debbie Mosa; his children, Tammy (Earl) Hercules and Chad (Amanda) Coffield; 15 grandchildren: Jeremy, Kayla, Breanna, Emma, Robbie, Zachary, Tyler, Austin, Jarrett, Macenzie, Allison, Alexzandria, Bryant, and Arianna; and 26 great-grandchildren, all of whom will miss him dearly as well as two siblings, Connie (Joe) Wright and Jake (Dawn) Coffield.
