It saddens me to learn that you have left us. I hope that you are at peace. Your death was a shock to the HS community, and all though our views and sense of humor were totally different, I am saddened that it ended this way. Prayers for your loved ones. You are missed.

"Life can separate us from seeing each other but it can never take away memories we made together."
You told me once to never be afraid to write so I wrote the above for you.
One of my fondest memories of being with you, was when we told each other our middle names sitting on a quarter pipe ramp in your folks backyard, which may sound weird to some but to us it made perfect sense.
Rest in peace my eternal friend.
