Jr was my handsome nephew. He was kind and affectionate as well as respectful of others. To me he was my angel. I still cannot believe he is no longer with us. I will always love him and I hope one day we will meet again in Gods Kingdom.

My little cousin Jr. has always been a very shy person, but everytime he did see you he give this great big beautiful smile and a big hug. I will always remember him as a cute bundle of joy. He tried to always be there for family as we all were tought to be. He will be missed and never ever forgotten by me, or the rest of our family. We love you Jr. and hope that one day we will reunite in heaven. Til then I will keep you in my heart. Antoinette and Family

Jr, as he was known to his family, I miss you so much. I am privileged to have had you in my life as my nephew. I was and am so proud of you and I'm glad I told you this more than once. Such a responsible, hard working young man, straight "A" student, kind and loving heart. I never ever saw you angry, or say mean things to anyone. You did always have a smile on your face; always joking around...I can't believe you're gone. I've never felt such pain as I am now. I love you and would do anything to have you back. You were perfect in my eyes. I will love you forever.

JR. was a special kinda kid that would genuinely smile at you, and would make you laugh. He was loved, dearly by his parents, brothers, family, and friends. The Lord gave him to us as a special gift for a moment. Now, Jr. is with our heavenly father. We all will see you again one day....you will never be forgotten but your memory embedded in our hearts with love.
