Complete with a fire pit and a TV for creating the perfect gathering space for friends and family to come together and enjoy each other’s company and making lasting memories. Doc was a man of many passions. He loved music, tattoos, drawing, and most of all bringing people together. Whether it was through a spontaneous gathering a deep conversation or a good laugh. Doc was always ready to make life a little brighter for those around him. He was the kind of man you could talk to for hours- whether you needed to vent, share a story or have a little “girl talk”.
