You showed me unconditional kindness and were genuine in each and every interaction we've ever had. I admittedly wrote you off initially thinking you were one of the many college new comers that wanted to immerse themselves into the music community and commandeer it like so many often do. It did not take long to realize that this was not your intention and that you genuinely loved music; loved playing it and sharing it with people.

Sending you love. You are missed by many, brother.

Eternal within the hearts and minds of those who raised you, grew up with you, and knew you...will be living memories of you...always. May the chasm of your earthly absence continuously fill with the warmth of happy memories recalled by those that made them with you.
