Rhien, I like dad, cannot believe that you are no longer with us. I truly hope that you were able to see, wherever you are, the send off that we gave you! You have a case and a half of miller lite with you, along with pictures of your beautiful girls, lots of sports memorbilia and a beautiful spot under a shade tree to be at peace! It was beautiful! I love you and will forever miss you big brother!

Your Baby Sister.

Rhien, it feels like yesterday that you took my pager and this whirlwind relationship we have had since then started. After that, you have stood up for me and supported me through so much. You were and will always be a brother to me. I love you and will miss you forever!

Rhien, I wish we had more time, more talks, and more walks around the neighborhood. Your passion for music and food was incredible. You taught me so much in such a little time. I will never forget the time we had. I miss you. You will forever be in my thoughts and my heart.

It has been a while since our last actual conversation and I told you God had a plan for all of us. I just wish you could have stuck around to see what His plan for you was.

Rhien your wit and love of music will last until the end of time. Your love for your girls will last an eternity. It is so hard to believe that you're gone. We all love and miss you so much that it hurts. But my prayer for you is that you are hurting no more.

I miss you. I still can't wrap my arms around the fact you are gone. I just want to wrap my arms around you and tell you I will take all your troubles and pain for you. There is a whole in me I don't know how to fill. You were such a sensitive person, a great son and selfishly I want to have you back. Please know how many lives you touched brought happiness to so many others. Love you Mom

Im gonna miss you big dog, we go way back and I just wish we could have stayed in contact over the years. Running into you and your family every once in a blue moon just wasn't enough. You were my child hood friend, my boy. We alway's had eachothers back when times got rough and dudes acted tuff. They could never make us scared or take our pride away. Until we see eachother again my old friend RIP

My fellow Chiefs fan you will be missed, Even if you told me you were rooting for the Texans over KC last year because " it was their last chance". You better get to work up there making some good connections to bring the Superbowl trophy to KC!, RIP buddy

I have thought and thought and thought again about what I will remember most about you Ry, the thing that comes to mind the most is when we were little....we were all eating dinner at the house in bridgestone and you had dish duty that night. We were all laughing and joking and you out of know where asked, "why do we have to clean our dishes before we put them in the dishWASHER?" I remember dying laughing there and to this day and probably for the rest of my life everytime I put a dish into the dishwasher I smile thinking about it.

I am going to miss your witty-ness, your sense of humor, your unconditional love and most of all you as a person! I will never truly understand why, nor do I think I want to, but know that you were loved. I LOVE YOU RHIEN!

My fellow Chiefs fan you will be missed, even though you told me you were rooting for the Texans over KC this last year "because it was their last shot" I guess I'll let it slide. ;) Now you better make some connections up there to get that Superbowl in KC!! RIP buddy

We had a amazing friendship so many years ago, and Im really glad that we got back in touch. I wish that we could have spent more time together and our kids could have gotten to know each other. I will always miss you and you will never leave my thoughts. All my love to you up there in heaven! I hope that you get to meet the others who I've lost the same way. They were amazing, just like you!

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
