My Imek was the most loving husband and father anyone could ever ask for. He believed in his Native ways and practiced them everyday. Traditionally, he was a leader, a singer, a dancer, a hunter and the best regalia maker ever. He put his whole mind, body, and spirit into everything he did. Many times he put others before himself as he was selfless. He had the best sense of humor and loved to make everyone laugh. When my husband sang, he often brought others to tears because he sang with so much feeling. When he danced, everyone loved to watch him. My husband would always say that if he could pick a job he wanted, it would be to have traditional ceremony everyday. He taught our kids and I to have traditional morals and values. He loved his family unconditionally and protected us with everything he had. He was intelligent, generous, chivalrous, kind-hearted, genuine, loyal, honest, and very hardworking. Imek’s passing was a huge loss to our family and all of Indian country. He will forever remain in our hearts and memories. We love and miss you sooo much honey. ~LOVE your sweetheart ISHEK & our four beautiful babies~ ♥️
