I know it´s been 5 years brother, but for the last two months I have been remembering you everyday bc I now work right by where we lost you.
I drive by the memorial that is still up to this day. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I miss you buddy and all of our talks about our trucks and FFA while working at Ky. Eagle.

It seems like just yesterday we were in FFA and you were like a brother to me. I can't count how many memories I have of you and my brother growing up. I had to laugh the only picture I could find was one shortly after your bike wipeout. You would get so mad at me when I would call you cheddar bob but we're always a good sport. I will miss your kindness and big heart that you wore on your sleeve. I know it's been years since I've seen you but you have always been family. Your life was short but you have touched so many. Rest In Piece my brother, until we meet again. I am so sorry Billy and Sonny for your loss. I hope there is some comfort in knowing how wonderful of a man you raised!

Sonny and family, I don't know if you remember me or not (lunch/playground at SAMS) but I still wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Rusty and his family. I know he was a nice boy when you lived here, in Cass, and it sounds like he grew into a well loved/respected young man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers--please take care. Mary Brown
