Ali had a big personality and an even bigger heart – if you were in his circle, you were an important part of his life.  His biggest passion & love was his daughters, they meant the world to him, he was so very proud of the beautiful people they have become. 

Ali was a hard worker – previous employers include Dlapa Construction, Full-Pull Construction and Johnsonville.  His favorite pastime was shooting darts, he was always on a team and looking forward to the next tournament.  He was a doting father loved spending time with his girls, going camping, boating, traveling, listening to music, making people laugh and just hanging out with his friends – he loved life and being surrounded by those that meant the most to him.

“I know it seems hard sometimes, but remember one thing: through every dark night, there’s a bright day after.  So, no matter how hard it gets, stick your chest out, keep ya head up … and handle it.” – Tupac Shakur
