I am so sorry. It's so hard find words. I can tell you that he did touch our lives by being such a welcoming friend to Dallas back in the 5th grade when we moved out here. He made that transition so much easier. Every time I seen him he had a big smile & always seemed to just be enjoying whatever he was doing. May God bless you, your family & his dear friends. My prayers are for comfort now & always.
