He lived his early life on the farm near Tonkawa and graduated from Lamont High School in 1967. After high school, he joined the Air Force and following his military service, he returned briefly to Tonkawa. He found employment with Nelson Painting Company in Louisiana and worked for them for many years, traveling around the country. He lived in Louisiana a number of years, enjoying the food, climate and culture of southern Louisiana. He moved to Phoenix and worked as a maintenance worker for a large apartment complex. On learning that he was ill, his sister insisted upon his returning to Tonkawa to regain his health. He has worked as a Transport person for Cherokee Strip Transit since 2019 helping many people to their medical appointments. He also delivered Meals on Wheels to Tonkawa residents.

He loved being with friends and family enjoying food and good times. He loved riding his motorcycle and owned a number of them during his lifetime. Special times were making the run to Sturgis on a number of occasions, and a couple poker runs with his brother and nephews. He enjoyed many other poker runs and motorcycle rallies with friends and family. His favorite saying was “Just me, JT.”
