His childhood was full of love and laughs; a little boy with a big heart. He graduated in 2006 from Howard High School of Technology from the carpentry shop. He was also a beloved employee of Redners Market in Camden. His many hobbies included cooking, grilling, reading, music, and playing video games.

He is survived by his mother, Doris Altizer; father, Chad Altizer; sisters, Connie McGirr, Naomi Altizer, and Laura McGirr; brother, Chris McGirr; nephews, Jordan, Zaire, Angelo and Connor; niece, Penelope; grandmother, Catherine Stephens; beloved pets, Shadow, Jesse, and Boo; and countless friends and family.
