December 5th 1949, marked the birth of a remarkable individual in Detroit, Michigan, as Wade and Rosemary welcomed their middle child of nine into the world. Growing up, this individual would go on to graduate from Redford Union High School in 1967, before furthering their education at Mercy College, now known as the University of Detroit Mercy, where they made a lasting impact on the theater program.
As their passion for the performing arts continued to grow, they landed a role in the 1980 film "Happy Birthday Gemini," a part they had previously brought to life on the stage in Chicago. The allure of the bright lights and bustling streets of New York City soon drew them to the East Coast, where they pursued their career with unwavering dedication.
Throughout their time in New York, they accumulated a impressive array of supporting and walk-on roles in numerous television shows and movies, solidifying their presence in the entertainment industry. However, their journey eventually took a poignant turn, as they returned to their hometown of Redford in 1999, following a health scare.
Sadly, their life was cut short on April 5th, 2000, due to heart failure, leaving behind a legacy that would continue to inspire and influence generations to come. Their final resting place is Holy Sepulchur Cemetery, a testament to the enduring impact they left on the world.
