Calvin dedicated his life to serving the Lord and others as a minister at Crossroads & Foster Baptist churches and was most recently a faithful member of Brookwood Baptist Church. In his spare time, Calvin also enjoyed the outdoors working with cattle & horses and going to the lake fishing, but his most precious times where those spent with his family & helping others.
