Calvin grew up near Davis on the Wild Horse Creek, where his fondest memories of life were made. While living on Wild Horse, he attended elementary school at Woodland.

In his spare time, Calvin enjoyed hunting, fishing & spending time with his grandchildren. His passion for fishing led him to spend countless hours fishing tournaments with his brother Rickey and loved every minute of their time together.
