He was loving, funny and had the best sense of humor. He was family oriented and enjoyed spending time with his brothers. He was the family peacemaker and could always get along with everyone. Cash loved everyone and everyone loved him back. He helped anyone that was in need. He was the guy who gave his coat to someone when they were cold, stopped to help motorists on the side of the road and always ended up friends with those he met and helped along his journey.
