Azby loved to hunt and fish and race cars. His family thought he was the best mechanic who ever lived. Anyone who knew him knew he could fix literally anything and he was always willing to help anyone, anytime in any way. He had the biggest heart in the universe. Even though he had terrible arthritis in his hands he continued to help friends and family through his pain, which he never complained about. He loved music and loved sharing his favorite musicians with others, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and ZZ Top, the louder the better. Let’s Rock and Roll and Getter Done. Believe it or not he loved to garden and can vegetables. He loved his family more than anything in the world and would always tell them, “I love you more than you will ever know,” and he meant it with all of his heart, and they loved him back.
