Had some damn good times in both rock ridge and LeJeune with you brother. You epitomized our core values of honor, courage, and commitment and were an all around a good fellow. Death comes for us all, and at the most unforeseeable times... I'm just glad to say that we lived it up together and that your memory and life are carried on in us, the lucky few.
My deepest condolences to the family.

As I read the obituaries, I am so very sorry to read again of one of our fallen heroes. It comes too soon, but, I, as well as others in the U.S. greatly appreciate the sacrifice that has been given in our behalf. May the Lord give each of you of his family strength in the days ahead.
