His beautiful long hair was his trademark, and he became known for his joyous habit of taking the top off his jeep, cruising around, and sharing his favorite tunes with the world.

Cedric wrote this poem his Senior Year in High School:
I did it all, I swear I Lived
Senior year we were told to enjoy enjoy I did, did the most with friends from stock shows with the yee yees to the football games with the populars
I did it all, I swear I lived
Having senioritis forgetting about work Not caring, just wanting to be with friends From almost failing in classes
To getting every grade passing
I did it all, I swear I lived
Not knowing what we have planned next Going 1,000mph we only stopped for friends From being sandy from sand volleyball
To dinner with everyone at 11:00pm
I did it all, I swear I lived
Senior year we were told to enjoy
Enjoy I did, I did the most with friends From first steps on campus a 2019 senior To first steps on stage a 2020 graduate.
I did it all, I swear I lived.
As we gather to celebrate Cedric's beautiful life, we ask you to please join us in wearing white while attending services.
