He was so quiet and very respectful to all he spoke too at work. He was a very hard worker at all times.... He will truly be missed. I´ll miss him. Not only was he my coworker but my friend . Prayers for his family

I will always remember that cute little blonde haired boy-and when he really learned to read chapter books in third grade. I am sad to hear about his passing.
