Teak also took great pride in being able to support the military in both the Army and Navy Reserves.

Teak was always looking for ways to help others and served as a great mentor to others. He understood the value that knowledge and hard work brought, and inspired it in those around him. He was steadfast in his Christian faith, always seeking to further his walk with God and striving to bring others to know Him.

Always the family man he put those relationships with the ones he loved at the forefront. His interests included fishing, boating, and music.
