I am so sorry to hear of the loss of an amazing man. He loved life and lived it to the fullest even in the eye of adversity. He was a gracious man, a thankful man. He was a fighter! I was privileged to care for him as he fought and conquered one of his greatest battles. He did so with a smile and never allowed any of us to forget him or his victory! His infectious smile and humbling personality, I will never forget! Heaven is brighter today and his spirit will live on in each life he ever touched!

Arms Wide Open always!

Our thoughts are with you and your family today and always. I have many favorite memories, in particular your humor. My all time favorite memory, however was the night you came over late on Christmas Eve and helped me decorate the whole house with Avengers figures to make it look like there was an epic Avengers battle when Santa came so that my son would be thrilled. I also remember the many conversations we shared as your perspective on life, family, etc. Was amazing. You are great man. We are so sad we couldn't be there today.Your life is one to be celebrated.Many prayers for those you left behind.
