Calvin was a member of Highland Pines Baptist Church. He could often be found engaging in one of his favorite pastimes: reading the Bible. Calvin was not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and would witness to anyone when given the opportunity. He was a man of integrity who was a devoted husband and believed in the value of hard work. He was a man of integrity as well a man of influence and such a gentle man. Calvin enjoyed watching his beloved Gamecocks, reminiscing about his days of playing football with the LBC Lions and trips with Linda to the mountains. Let us also remember that Calvin was known for having a sweet tooth as big as South Carolina. He will be deeply missed by everyone who's life was impacted by his fellowship.
