It’s hard to believe that I’ve known you since I was just 14 years old! Living in the same neighborhood, I remember hanging my head out the window and hooting and hollering trying to become friends with you and Chris and all the many friends you all always had over. You guys would yell back hey buddddddy, lol! From the time I met you and through all the years, I don’t think I ever saw you without a smile on your face, doing something silly, and making everyone around you laugh. Your happiness was contagious no matter what you may have had going on. Which is a reminder that even when things are hard, you can still bring joy to others - thank you for always being that reminder for everyone. You were the very best uncle to all your nieces and nephews and I know they all adored you more than you will ever know. You will forever be missed!!
