"Hey. Don\'t really know what to say here, but posting directly to social media seemed a little off putting, so I\'ll go ahead and speak my mind about Trev here. He was an extremely unique soul that passed away just too early. I was sure that I had another 60 years with him, easy. I guess that things really just don\'t work out how you think they will. Just about anything could change immensely at any moment, and although frightening, the thought also puts life right now into perspective. It is hard to understand that nothing is really forever, and that the importance of one\'s life is not completely understood until they lose it. He was loved by many, but that doesn\'t need to be said. Everybody that knew him already knows that. I feel like I knew him in a way that nobody else did. Being his little brother, although I hated to admit it, I looked up to him like nobody else. He was there for me when I needed him to be. He was ready to listen to what I had to say whenever I had to say it. He was just about everything that a brother should be, and there\'s no arguing about that. Over the past couple of weeks, I\'ve also begun to despise the past tense. I am guilty of using it, but when talking about Trev, it\'s hard to do so. He was such an important part of my life that the notion of him not being there anymore is really just awful. Describing him in the past tense is also pretty hard. He saying that he \'was\' awesome and that he \'was\' unique, because from my perspective, he had to earn those qualities, and those qualities should live on with him, and not be something he \'was\'. Anyways, anything that I would like to say here about Trev is already known by anybody that knew him. Trev means more to me than anybody could imagine, and I wish I could thank him for all of the amazing memories, experiences, and for being somebody I knew I could always talk to. There are still times when I see something that I wish I could show him, or share something I did with him, and when I realize that he isn\'t here, I am sad, but I know he wouldn\'t want me to be. He was loved by so many, and he knew that, and that is definitely something I am greatful for."
In loving memory of
Trevon Brown
