You were truly one of a kind. I will miss your sense of humor, kindness, generosity, the way you cared for me and our family. I miss talking to you, your hugs and you checking in on me several times a day. I will miss you always my love, until we meet again. Rest in Peace.

I miss this guy so much. He truly was a good man. I was very blessed growing up to have such a kind and loving brother. I know he is with the Father in Heaven, but I struggle with his presence missing here with us. I hope we can all find healing and comfort in our memories.
Love you always Brother!
