My birthday buddy, my classmate, my friend. I will always remember the smile on your face usually because we were up to no good in band hall. Of all the memories that I have of you I can honestly say that I have no bad ones. You will be greatly missed and always loved by those whose heart you touched. I’m honored to have had mine tugged on a few times by you in only a way a fellow Scorpio would understand. Love you kiddo!
I still can't grasp the fact that you are no longer here. Caitlyn and Nolan love you very much and hope you know that you are the very best Uncle Gummy Bear that any of your nieces and nephews could ever have. We were so blessed to have been able to have you in our lives. You were and will always be my brother, no matter what. I love you brother. Please keep a watch out for Caitlyn and Nolan. Until we see you again.. ??
