I knew Ashley for many years and counted him among my friends. He will be missed by many.

Heather & Brett,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I never got to meet Ashley, but having the pleasure of knowing Brett I am sure Ashley was just as wonderful.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Heather,

I am so sory to hear about Ashley's passing. He became one of my very best friends...I was so honored and privileged to be his friend. He would crack jokes while we were working in the back room at D&W. Sometimes we would laugh until our sides ached and tears streamed down our faces.

Heather: Elaine was kind enough to let me know about your son. Although I was never fortunate enough to have met him, if he was anything like you, I'm sure he was a kind, thoughtful person with a great sense of humor. I can't imagine what you're going through, but be assured my thoughts are with you.

I have not seen or have spoken to Ashley since I moved to Florida back in 1995, but I remember all the times we used to laugh and we would just enjoy life as best we could. He made me laugh a lot and he was a guy you wanted to hang with. I am sorry to hear of his passing. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Ashley was a good man and we are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to know him. I remember Ashley always cracking a joke to make you laugh. He will be missed.
