Another one of my projects brothers. He was someone with a smile and hug if you hadnt seen him in a while. He always teased me about his little brother David had a crush on me when we were kids. Our families grew up together and we miss him. May God continue to bless you all. Peanut & Peco

From the timeI met him I liked him. I grew to love him like my big brother as well as his family. He was down to earth and did not look down on people and he was loyal and loved his family. I will never forget him as long as I live. Love you Brother. I cherish all the fun times.
