Ced, to say you will be missed is a great under statement. When I was small I remember coming over to your Grandpa house and playing with you guys. Then we moved one block from ya'll and our friendship took off. I can remember summers of me,you, Gerald and Steve. hanging out doing all kinds of things. Playing basketball in the morning and until the early morning. Us in your bug rollin out. We shared a lot in common, but we were totally difference in a lot aspects. You know Ced I would sit back and watch how you handle certain things with ease and ask myself why wasn't I blessed with that ability. I learned a lot from you. Ced, I can remember us going to Mexico and that little guy coming out of that shop and calling you Shaquille O'Neal. I remember laughing until we cried and could hardly breath. I remember you driving your bug on to my parents lawn just to have Pops tell you to stay off the grass. I remember you coming over to the house and Y-vette doing these crazy dances that made us crack up laughing. I know I could go on for days. Ced, you may not be here in the flesh, but you warm my heart and soul everyday. Ced, I promise to you as your friend and cousin just as you will keep a watchful eye over your family I pledge to do the same! Ced, it's hard not having you here but I know your up there shining on us all. Until we meet again Love You. JETT

The Blunt Family,
Our sympathy and loving thoughts of our dear Cedric. Our son Jason and Cedric were friends in HS and lived for basketball. I had the privledge of chatting with Cedric last year @ a SMHS basketball game. He was truly a caring individual who touched my heart with many HS stories and memories. As I sat there I thought of how fortunate our son Jason was to have this guy back in his life. Thanks Cedric....God Bless You
Sincerely, Janeen and Dan Pasinski

Sissy and family-
I am so sorry to hear of Cedric's passing. He was such a cute kid and I will always remember how he was happy to see me and followed me around. I didn't know him much as a young adult but am sure he was a fantastic kid, Monica and Jessica always speak very highly of him and loved him very much. He was a great cousin and nephew and his fun and crazy ways will be deeply missed. I love you guys and will keep you in my prayers.
