They were united in marriage on March 6, 1973, beginning a remarkable 52-year journey of love, devotion, and partnership. Through every season of life, they stood side by side, building a home rooted in strength, faith, and unwavering commitment. Together, they raised four children, who were his pride and joy and whom he loved deeply: Aronette, Christopher, Katina, and Danny.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Tommy and Billie Washington.
