My sincerest condolences to your family. It's been a very long time, but I will always remember his quick wit and humor. If you spent any time at the Griggs' home, he seemed like everyone's little brother. Prayers for you all.

Although we didn´t stay in touch after high school other than social media, I have fond memories of our time swimming together & in classes together. He was one of the good ones. My sincerest condolences.

So many dumb memories that make me smile. From him being the whiny little brother that wanted to act tough, to small town kids living in big cities with the same mentality on so many things. He was a great soul. Thanks for sharing his light. I hope you feel his love around you daily.
