Big Brother!!! I cannot believe it´s been almost 18 years. I still miss you so much. You´re memory is ever so present in our hearts and minds! I wish you were here to see my son. I know would love him like your own. He is so smart and loves anime and beats. I tell him all the time about his uncle so he will always remember you too! Can´t wait to see you again! Love you forever!

I never had the honor of meeting you personally but I knew you through your Mom, Ms Shirra. Oh she loved her babies. I honor your sacrifice all the time as I too came from a military family . I think of you often young man, especially your family. Your mom gave me a rose that I still have to this day. You are honored and remembered. #AAFES #ArmyVeteran

SPC Franklin. I will never forget us talking about you becoming an officer and what steps you needed to take to get there. I know you would have been an outstanding leader. It´s been 15 years and our conversation stays on my mind. Losing you really hurt me personally. But I know you are a leader in Heaven. Respectfully, Mclynn D Howard Major (Retired)

Sir... I hope you've met up with my brother up there. He always talked about you through the years. I came across your page by accident really searching for an old teacher. You were so respectful, gentle, and kind. Unbelievable that its been 16 years... Your smile and presence was something I remember and my brother often talked about how unfair it was that all the good hearted, genuine people seem to leave first. Remembering you today and hoping your enjoying it up there with Dakota. ...

Always remembered and always missed.

Hi Friend!
I just wanted to tell you and your family how proud we are of you. You were a blessing to be around and a hero to so many. You were courageous, determined and caring. There is not a lot of people like you in this world, but I am glad to have known you and to be able to call you a friend.

I miss you man!!! I'm always thinking about you. See you on the other side bro! R.I.P.

I am glad to have walked among heroes in my lifetime and you are one of the greatest. Missing your bright, joyful and faith filled spirit. You are a light among men and you are missed, loved and honored every day.

I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since God needed you more than we here on earth did and called you home. I still think about the times we had and all of the heartfelt laughter that we shared. You maybe gone in body but that gorgeous smile and that up lifting personality will remain for ever more. Just thinking about you hun
