I was blessed to have this amazing man as my big brother. I watched him learn and grow in his adult life in the deepest, most beautiful way. HIs love for his family and his faith was powerful. His desire to help was heartwarming, and his sense of humor was pretty outrageous. He was a GREAT gift to his family and to all who knew him. Yes, I miss him - yet more than that I CELEBRATE the gift of my big brother this day - and every day.
