Veyondtra was a voracious reader with a keen understanding of literature, mathematics, science, and history, and served as a Lead Pastor for Victory Outreach. He was curious and highly intelligent with a need for a Socratic discussion. Some of his favorite activities were to be a grandpa to his treasured grandson, Kayden, and to sit at the feet of the honorable James and Helen Dennis and glean from their wisdom. He was a minister, teacher, and preacher with the ability to listen and break down complex concepts so simplistically that even a child could understand. One of his greatest attributes was his care and compassion for others.
