The best friend I had growing up. Kind, gentle, fun, outgoing and warm. When he cared about someone it was deep and genuine. We had so much fun with sports and just hanging out together watching tv or chatting as kids. Its not easy to find someone you hit it off with regardless of age. He was a gem.
