He is cherished by his son, Tedaro, with his mother, Kathy Blackwell; son, Marttise, and daughter, Meaghan, with their mother, Dr. Rona Robinson-Hill. He leaves 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He was a treasured son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, nephew, cousin, godfather, and friend.
