I would want to begin my little comment with giving my biggest condolences to the family and his partner, I know they go through a lot of pain and things won't be the same again with the loss of Avery, I still hope they will find happiness in the future. I was an online friend to him, even tough he was a friend for less then a year to me he was a friend I dearly valued, when I knew he was sick I spent all the time I could to play games with him, watch something funny, just hang out and value the time left, timezones made it somewhat difficult, being in Europe, but I stayed up all night for him when he was available, I didn't want to miss a second that I could spend with him knowing it was limited. We are many that miss him in gaming, and I think I speak for all of us when I say, we miss him with all our hearts and souls.

Wise, articulate, bright, friendly, engaging are just a few of the words to describe Avery. He never met a person he could not connect with on any and all levels, and his endless curiosity about everything drew you in and his ability to explain concepts and ideas kept you there.

However, as our nephew, he was special, kind, easy going, and simply fun to be around. We have so many wonderful memories of our time with him, and we cannot wait to be reunited with him in Glory to finish many unsettled debates and conversations. It was an honor and privilege to be part of his glorious life.

Our love and condolences,

Uncle Dan and Aunt Tracee.
