Henry Cervantes

Henry is one of those friends where we don’t know how long, when, or how we became friends. All we know is we’ve been friends for a REALLY long time. He’s my partner in crime when we’re with our middle school guys and he’s my go to when I have a problem I need advice on or just to spill tea to. Henry has always been there for me and I always try my best to be there for him. I couldn’t think of anyone better to have beside me as my best man!

Kayleigh Smith-Earl

Kayleigh is my “twin” sister.. well, not really since we’re 17 months apart. We’ve always been mistaken for twins since we were kids and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. If either of us are in trouble I know that we have each other’s backs, no matter what. She’s not just family, she’s my close friend and best sister a guy could ask for.

Caleb Flowers

I first met Caleb about 5 years ago when he and his wife Christine became the youth pastors at Rose Heights. Ever since then he’s pushed me to not only become a better Christian, but a better person. He’s gotten me out of my comfort zone, sticking me with middle school small groups to start and then helping me make deeper connections with the other leaders. To me, he’s not just a youth pastor, he’s become one of my closest friends.

Loren Earl

Loren is my brother-in-law and is married to my sister, Kayleigh. We first met Loren one summer when he and Kayleigh were both counselors at Pine Cove. We offered for him to come and do his laundry at our house since we were close to camp.. That’s also when we found out Loren was NOT a girl, but a guy she kind of liked. Since then, he’s become an important part of our family. He’s our personal chef, adventuring buddy, and, to me, the brother I never had.

Andrew Johnson

Andrew is known as the baby of the family.. even if he doesn’t look like it. He’s the youngest of all the cousins and probably the most adventurous out of all of us. I remember going to Nacogdoches as a kid and he would always take us on their golf cart or ranger riding in their pasture chasing cows or just exploring the woods around the house. Andrew is one of the most kindhearted and dependable people in our family and I couldn’t imagine having our wedding party without him in it.

Matthew Johnson

Matthew is the oldest one out of all of the cousins. He’s the one we all look up to and want to follow in his footsteps. He always is there and willing to lend a hand, whether it’s helping us find the perfect car or to cheer us up when we’re feeling down. Matthew is not just my cousin, he’s my role model and the perfect example of the kind of person I want to be.
