He farmed in House, NM several years prior to owning and operating Paschalls Automatic Transmission Service in Roswell for 24 years. He was a founding and current member of Bethel Assembly of God Church.

Asa was an outstanding musician, accomplished in many instruments. He loved gardening and fishing and was a great storyteller who loved to share stories about life on the homestead and bull riding. He had a generous heart and shared what he had with others because he hated to see anyone suffer.

He was loved by all who knew him and will be dearly missed.
