His love for music inspired him to be one of the best known DJ's. He would DJ all over the surrounding areas for over 20 years. 

He was constantly booked for events almost every weekend. He always catered to his crowd with the type of music he played such as zydeco, swingout, rap, and R&B.

He loved traveling with his wife, family, and friends. He enjoyed watching football and basketball games. His favorite team was New Orleans Saints. He would represent the Saints with his attire for every occasion. Nobody couldn't tell him nothing about his team. He was always going on vacations, cruises, and just leaving out of town to spend quality time with his wife. He came to this earthly plan with a purpose and left this earthly plan fulling his purpose. Well done D.J.
