Verlin's journey was one of passion, diligence, and unwavering commitment to his aspirations.

To my baby brother (from another mother) Xavier aka Zay, this is one of the saddest days of my life to hear of your passing. All the childhood memories of fun we had around Bouldercrest, East Atlanta and beyond in the '70's & '80's will never be forgotten!! We played, we fought like brothers, we danced, we partied, we enjoyed life like brothers. Life took us down different paths as adults but we always kept in touch. I'll always remember the trip to took to Miami for the Falcons first Super Bowl and you wrecked my truck halfway there. I wasn't upset because you were my brother, so we turned around, changed out vehicles and still made it down to enjoy the experience (I have a picture from that trip, I'll add later so your family can savor it). My great-auntie in Miami loved you like one of her own grand nephews, I can still see the smile on your face when she called you Javier (lol). The go-cart & bicycle rides, to the rides in the Rabbit bumping our Jay Team & Jam Pony Express music will always be remembered. I love you man, rest easy baby bro, you'll be missed but not forgotten!!
