An avid outdoorsman, Sonny found joy in hunting and riding his motorcycle, embracing the freedom and adventure both brought him. Above all, he cherished his family. He took great pride in spoiling his grandchildren, creating lasting memories filled with love, laughter, and warmth that they will carry with them forever.
