Worker entered into life November 10, 1952 in Winslow, Arizona and entered into rest March 4, 2010 at his home in Tolleson, Arizona.

In high school, he was a wrestler and even went to college on a wrestling scholarship. A dedicated family man and hard worker, he was always willing to give anything and everything he had. He was a jokester and a good dancer; he had a deep love for country, gospel and Native American music. He loved Jesus with all his heart and spread the gospel any chance he got. He was a talented craftsman of leather, silver, sand painting, beadwork, and just an overall talented man, except for his computer. He was a quadrapalegic, but possesed a zeal and determination in life that, accompanied by his constant joy, allowed him to overcome and excel in all things. He also thought of himself as quite the ladies man, and was often heard saying, "What a life without a wife." He always had a place for you to stay; loyal, unconditionally loving, the perfect example of contentment. He was a simple man who was happy with whatever he had, but would willingly give all to help others. And he loved Pete's fish and chips.
