It is with a very heavy heart that we release Victor to God, but we can all take solace in the fact that Victor brought joy to many people and in return he was deeply loved by many. During a time like this people always say, "He will be missed," and they are right he will be. But we know a part of Victor lives on forever through our love, strength, memories and the gifts he gave to others. He was always an amazing storyteller so we promise to never let his story end. We love you, "Bubba."
