We are truly blessed to have great kids who support our Team and we are proud of them for helping us understand what is important in our lives. Many of them have Moms and Dads who serve on our Team and it is always great to see them.

Let me introduce to you Avery Hopkins. Avery is the son of our Pee Dee Regional Coordinator Lee Hopkins and his wife, April, who in her own right is a huge part of our Team.

Avery is an amazing young man, full of life and shenanigans every day. He can throw a smokin’ fast ball, hunt deer and turkeys better than most grown men, run with a pack of hounds after some of the fastest rabbits in Florence County, catch catfish bigger than himself, ride a four-wheeler like a pro, aggravate his big sister and most of all, in his own way, take care of his Daddy.

We all have mourned the passing of our Brother, Tray Phillips, this week. Last night, his Daddy Lee was going to the funeral home for Tray’s visitation and Avery insisted on going with him as he knew Tray and his Daddy were close friends. He put on his Team shirt and went to the visitation to make sure his Daddy would be okay. We’re proud of you Avery. You have earned the right to wear that shirt and we couldn’t be prouder of you for your commitment to what we do.

Thanks, Buddy, as you help us remember what is important every day. We are proud to call you our Teammate.
