He was a general manager for DCD Warehouse in Tyler for over 35 years. Mr. Massey was a soccer coach for over 20 years and his passion for sports continued his entire life as he supported his children and grandson on and off the field.
Mr. Massey never met a stranger and shared his faith with others including posting a daily devotional. Mr. Massey also did everything he could to never miss the thrill of a Kansas City Chiefs game or reeling in a big fish in his favorite boat out on the lake. He loved his family, friends and of course all his “puppies.” Anyone who knew him also knew he loved to witness a good rain storm.
This is exact five years he passed away may his soul rest on
