With the deepest of sympathy. God needed an anchor man for his 4x100 relay team. So, on June 9, 2023, he chose a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Times). You fought a good fight, you finished your course, your kept the faith. You have now gotten your reward. Run on Champ. Take your victory lap.
Love you and will miss you.
