Our dad loved the outdoors. He created many memories hunting, fishing and camping with his family. We will always cherish the hours he spent playing cards and board games with us, watching Saturday morning cartoons and American Bandstand. Our dad had a great sense of humor with a quick wit. He made people laugh and had a big heart. He always put others first and loved unconditionally.

He is survived by his ex-wife Birdena Birch and their children; MaLesa (Ernie) Hone, Shanon (Nicky) Birch and Misty (Dennis) Webber, 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, his siblings, Leslie (Jill) Birch, LaRie (Kevin) Davis and Jay (Sharalyn) Birch. He is preceded in death by his parents Leland John and Georgia Birch.

Dad, we miss you and pray that you are at peace. We want you to know how much we love you and look forward to the day that we can be together again.
