Preston loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren very much. He enjoyed being a member of Bellaire Baptist and served faithfully until his health declined. He also loved to hunt deer & turkey and mount his trophy horns.
He would often share stories of his life as a true Texas cowboy in his younger days. His horsemanship skills were abundant and shared with many, as an active parent in the local Bexar County 4-H clubs. He enjoyed horses and would have loved to live on a ranch.
He was very good with his hands and could problem solve and build anything. The family would like to especially thank Billy Peairs and Maria, his care giver for all their help and love for Dad.
