He was known for his infamous nicknames and sayings. He was a proud supporter of Maroon Tide Athletics. He was most passionate about his family and his love for Jesus.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Bruce Ford, Sr. and Billie Jean Lumpkin Ford; and his sister, Sharon Jenkins.

The legacy of his kind spirit, passion for sports, and love of family will live on through them.
