In 1995 he became the founder and pastor of Armour of Light Baptist Church in Victory, NY, now called Mount Victory Fellowship. He continued as the pastor up until the day he passed, just a few days shy of the church's 31st anniversary.
He loved the Adirondacks, camping, canoeing, and chasing all the bears with his family. He was known for his love of John Wayne, endless creativity, boundless imagination, and tremendous sense of humor. Always with his bag of books in tow, he was continuously reading and digging deeper into understanding the fullness of God's grace and love. His personality not only created a wonderful home and family, it also spilled over into everything he built within the church.


He is predeceased by his siblings, Linda (Settle) Capodagli, Jeffrey Settle, Bradley Settle, and grandson, Daymyn Weed.
