Not sure what to say?

I still think about you a lot Red. It’s so much I want to tell you. I love and miss you baby boy. Please come visit me in my dreams. I love you Red

You are truly loved D Red. I miss you soo much and I think about you every second of the day. I looked forward to seeing your beautiful smile at school always. ❤

D-Red was such an outstanding young man. Very smart, great personality, athletic, loved music, his family, friends and schoolmates. My prayers are with the family and especially his mother Chaka. For a mother to lose a child is hard, to lose a child you’ve invested so much love, morals and structure too is even harder. D-Red had a bright future ahead of him, he was an amazing young man headed to college. Prayers going up for D-Red’s family. The kind of person D-Red was, I already know he’s in...

Gone to soon.
I will always remember those Saturday morning when we would often play a game of shoot around in the Cutoff gym.
You will be deeply missed
