Enlisted in Lubbock, Texas.
Awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his sacrifice during World War II. On February 27, 1945, while clearing enemy mines, he stepped on an anti-personnel mine and deliberately placed his other foot on the mine to prevent it from being thrown upward and injuring his squad members with shrapnel.
