My brother Theo, I miss you and your energy so much. I can´t believe you have been gone over 12 years. I have been visiting your page often, reminiscing about all the trash we would talk to each other on the daily at work. You made everyone´s day better just by being you, that´s something that can never be replaced or replicated.

Im hurt sad angry confused why did this happen I loved this man to death and even with me not seeing and speaking to him in years I still loved him asked about him all the time... I cant express how his death changed me I know he touched and blessed many people I know he kept me laughing as a child growing up.. I miss singing church songs to him from vacation bible school.. I miss him wearing Izod and polo checker and stripped shirts with his pants creased down the front.. oh God I can go on and on he was a survivor of many things he was someone we looked up too he had reslect morals class he carried hisself well I loved his smile.. He would be forever in my heart I love him no matter what... Theo maybe gone but he will be forever in my heart..

I never had the chance to connect with Theo over the years. However, he has smiled at me over 50,000 time. He is rare and he can brighten up a room of strangers effortlessly. I'm saddened of his sudden departure and his positivism is something I would never forget.
Your friend,
Kevin

My friend......I can close my eyes and hear your voice so crystal clear. I've been crying a little, but I've been smiling alot as I remember the good times we had. The funny childhood stories we spent hours laughing about will stay with me forever. Our relationship felt warm like family. I can't say goodbye, so.... I'll see you later.
