He is survived by his children Kyle and Lacey; grandson, Taven; siblings Pat Mangum, Sharon (Don) Hooker, Dwayne (Susan) Hinze, Leslie (Patti) Hinze, Gary (Juli) Hinze, Edra (Randy) Bierschwale, Terry (Nancy) Hinze and Alan Hinze; in-laws Sue Hinze and Kelley Smith and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.
