Amanda remembered her husband as a loving father, devoted husband, and Christian whose kindness and personality made a lasting impression on everyone around him.
In an emotional tribute, she described him as the best person she had ever known and said she could not have asked for a better husband or father for their children.
The couple had been together for many years. They first met while working together when Amanda was just 16 years old and began dating shortly afterward. Earlier this year, they celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.
Their family includes a 16-year-old daughter, and Amanda was expecting their second daughter, who was due in approximately three weeks at the time of the accident. His sudden passing has made an already difficult period especially heartbreaking for the family.
