I am of the privileged many to be able to call Cedric a very dear friend. We were school mates for years as we shared homerooms. My heart is so saddened that I'll never again see that thousand watt smile or enjoy another jovial conversation with him. His generous heart only made him that much more of an endearing, wonderful human being. Thanks for the memories, Ceddy. Rest in God's presence.

I met this awesome guy when he worked at the Lake City Police Department with my dad Maj. Wilson. He was always considered part of our family. Anytime we were out and about and ran into him he would always speak and give us hugs. He was a great person to look up too and talk with. Just seen him recently and just can't believe it. I pray that his family has peace and strength to get through this trying time. Cedric you will be missed and loved by many.
