Heath was a member of the Lumbee Tribe and has danced for many years. He began as fancy dancer and then switched to traditional. He was a wonderful person and a good friend. He leaves behind a wife and two children. Heath was an only child and the center of his parents world.

Please keep this family, and the entire powwow family here in NC in your prayers.

A True Loss.
Prays to the family.
I know the Lumbee people are very sad... but he was a great example. You have a lot to be proud of. He died serving others.
The ultimate sacrifice.

For those folks who never met Heath you really missed meeting someone great. He was a great friend, father, son and husband. He was such a good traditional dancer. He will be missed so much. We had so many great times together.
