Calvin lived a life shaped by steady work and a sincere desire to do the best he could in all things. A truck driver by trade, he carried that same sense of purpose into the way he cared for those around him, showing up with consistency, humility, and a deep commitment to what mattered most.
Family was at the center of Calvin’s life. He loved spending time with those he held dear, and he found particular joy in his grandchildren—sharing laughter, joking around, and making ordinary moments feel warm and memorable. Among his proudest moments was becoming a father, a milestone he treasured and spoke of with lasting gratitude.
Calvin’s faith in Christ was foundational, and he hoped others would come to know what he believed and trusted. He loved God above all, and his devotion was reflected in the quiet strength of his life and in the comfort he found in worship. “How Great Thou Art” held special meaning for him, a favorite song that echoed the reverence he carried in his heart.
Those who knew Calvin will remember his love of family, his good-natured humor, and the steady presence he offered. His memory will be carried forward in the lives he touched and, in the faith, and love he sought to share.
