After high school and a few semesters of college, Ashton enlisted in the U.S. Army. Having recently competed in bodybuilding, he was well liked by his drill sergeants and fellow soldiers. Especially as they always found new ways to challenge him, and as always… he was quick to accept any challenge with a cocky smile and witty comeback. Respectfully thanking challengers with a handshake or hug, hysterically laughing the whole time.
After the Army, Ashton’s social life soared on two fronts: flying and dancing. He started flying lessons hoping to earn his certificate and took up country dancing. His natural ability to succeed captured the skies as he was able to complete his solo in just a few weeks. And the country clubs will never be the same as he lit up the room when he graced the dance floor. Ashton’s light burned brightly from his successes, as he touched so many lives with his unique kindness, his respect, his selflessness, and desire to do right by others. Fly High Ashton.
