The life of the party, everyone always had a good time whenever Sarge was around. He was outgoing, fun loving, and had the biggest heart, though he could also be a bit bull headed too.

Including his parents, he was preceded in death by five siblings: Maria Myers, Delores Turner, Clarence Turner, Ernest Turner and Erma Walke.
