Sometimes i think of people i used to know. To often i find their obituaries. I remember you taking me surfing in oceanside. You were only like 15 or 16 at the time. I was living with your mom in lacosta. There are memories that stick with us we are not sure why, until someone passes. I consider myself and indigo child too. I will cherish those memories i had for tje short time i knew you. May your free spirit move through the waves and the breeze of the wind.

RIP broham, you were a good dude! If there are waves in Heaven , I know you are dropping in late, carving a hard bottom turn, and getting locked in that sweet barrel.

Missing you lots, Babe!! Had so many amazing times together! Known you and Ry sooo long. I was just thinking the other day that when I was out in Nebraska, and all that stuff was going on how you were always there to be a shoulder to cry on. Then, when I moved back home, you were the first one that came to visit me! I will never forget you or our talks about life. Will always have a special place in my heart for you. I will miss those beautiful eyes, that smile, and thatvwinning California personality! Heaven just gained an amazing soul. Catch a wave up there!!! Love you Bud

What a beautiful soul taken from a world that thrived for his light! I pray you are at peace in the Paradise of Heaven smiling down at the waves of the water and love of us all for you!
You left us too soon, but in Gods plan we are asked to understand. Its so very hard to do, but soon I hope peace will be found in your familys hearts. Ive know you for so very long! Lived in SD as you as well as HS days together! You truly were the most kind, generous friend.
Rest in Paradise! Well all think of you out at Blacks riding the waves and looking out at the beauty on our boards!
Much Love,
