Prisoner 321654* was born in Abilene, Texas.\u00a0 In his early twenties, he caught his new wife in a situation and committed a heinous crime.\u00a0 He was sentenced to fifty years to life in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Incarceration Division.\u00a0 When Prisoner 321654 was thirty years old, he was saved and dedicated his life to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Prisoner 321654 made his station in life to exemplify Christian behavior.\u00a0 He worked tirelessly to comfort fellow inmates who were in crisis.\u00a0 His work without a doubt saved many men from themselves.\u00a0 He could always be found in the chapel if anyone needed a shoulder to lean on.\u00a0 He never fell victim to the temptations of prison life, drugs, alcohol, sex, gangs.\u00a0 He credited his Christian Faith as the foundation for never giving up despite the constant pressures of prison life.<\/p>\n

In June of 2018, Prisoner 321654 had minor surgery and succumbed to a blood clot and went to be with his Lord.\u00a0 He was within sight of his parole.\u00a0 His family did not acknowledge his passing and did not want his body.\u00a0 His possessions consisted of many books and notes.\u00a0 He had received his bachelors, masters, and theology degrees online.\u00a0 \u00a0These all went to the State of Texas for disposal.\u00a0 He was buried in a state prisoner\u2019s cemetery under a simple wooden cross with his prison identification number on it.\u00a0 He was sixty-three years old.\u00a0 He spent thirty years behind bars working tirelessly for the Lord.<\/p>\n

The construction class at the Price Daniel Unit, where he worked as a teacher aid, made the rocker as a way of celebrating his life and faith.<\/p>\n

After learning of a benevolent cause raising money through an auction, the class voted to donate the rocker in memory of Prisoner #321654.\u00a0 They knew this was something he would want.<\/p>\n

The high bid for the rocker was $1100.<\/p>\n
