"Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. It will be so strange to not see his smile every time we see him. Will always remember him hanging out with Tiffany. Will always remember his giving spirit and always willing to lend a hand. He will never be forgotten. "

"I?ll never forget the times we spent in Mexico on the mission trip. He would always have something encouraging to say to motivate me on days that I was exhausted from the heat. He made us all laugh with the silliest jokes, especially about that rooster that woke everyone up at 5 am! He was a one of a kind man and he will forever be remembered. ?"
