Loved by his Tennessee family. He will be sadly missed and never forgotten. I remember the first July 4th he and Tori came to visit, 2021. We had a great time. He helped me one evening in my yard. We bonded over a silly piece of head gear, a head light around the forehead. I still remember us going to Cabella´s and having a great time and taking a picture with the Grizzly. I will miss our conversations about YSL, we kept each update on that, we shared world events and political views, and we always talked about my grand-dog Lily aka Lilybug. He was loved much by Tori and more than adored by our Lilybug. I´m thankful he was surrounded by his loving family and relatives. We don´t always understand why things go the way they do but God does and He also hears our tears. He´s always just a prayer away, no matter what and even if. My deepest sympathies are with you all and I pray that God wraps His loving arms around all of you like never before to bring you comfort and peace. From Tennessee to Mississippi, our thoughts and prayers, hugs and tears are with you all. Much love from Tennessee, Debra Pierce.
