Victor and I had first met in kindergarten. It's funny, because when we had rekindled in eighth grade, all I remembered about him was that his name was Emanuel and and his parents drove a green van. After realizing whom each other was, it was like we had became best friends all over again. I'm very blessed, and honored to have spoke at his funeral because it makes me realize how blessed I am to have had him as my best friend. Victor's been there for me through some of my toughest moments, and without him, I don't know how I would of made it. I want to share my condolences to his family and say that I am very sorry. I was his best friend and I know how you feel, it's very tough, but you're not alone. For every beginning, there's an end, and for every end, there's a beginning. Although Victor is no longer with us here on earth, he has just begun a far greater life up in heaven. And as long as you keep him very close in your heart, neither him, nor his memory will fade.

Gone, but never forgotten. I love you Victor Emanuel Escapita, you will always be my best friend and will be forever in my heart.

My prayers are for God to comfort all of you during this time of sadness. Each day will bring you more & more comfort & the joy of knowing Victor is with our Lord & Savior. I've known Victor for years & worked with him at the YMCA for about two of those years & I can honetly say that he was the finest, best young man I have ever known. The kids in the child watch & youth zone "loved" Victor. Parents loved Victor. Victor always had a kind word for all the kids, treated them all with such love & kindness. He will be missed. Again my thoughts & prayers are with all of Victor's family.

We are very sorry to hear of Victor's sudden passing. Our family members loved him very much and spoke highly of him. Our grandchildren viewed him as a big brother. We never had the pleasure of meeting him and did not know him personally. But our son, Buddy, and his wife Heather Hopkins, were really shaken by his death. We pray you will be able to endure this tragedy with much strength and we believe families can be together forever and he will be reunited with all those who loved him when our turn on earth is over. May you find peace and comfort and know that you are in the prayers of many people, even complete strangers. Kindest regards,
Walter and Rosemary Hopkins(parents of Buddy Hopkins and grandparents of Garrison, Rachel, Kimber, and Natalie and in-laws of Heather Hopkins)
