Victor, along with his Mother and grandparents Porter and Willie Mae Shoals, was a traveler.

Victor never met a stranger, wherever he went in his life he made friends easily and he treasured those people he called friends. Listening to classic rock music, watching westerns or spending time with his family, Victor was always moving about. If there was something to be done, he took care of it. Victor also enjoyed fixing bicycles and being outdoors. He worked a variety of trades throughout his life; welding, cement finisher and horticulturist before settling into his work as a truck driver for the oil fields. No matter what task he was doing though, it would be completed to the best of his ability. Preceded Victor in death are his father, grandparents, and a multitude of other family members.
