I met Koti while we were both stationed at Holloman AFB. I never felt I had a true friend as when I met Koti. He was always positive and smiled all the time which made me as well. We ran together while in the same squadron and I just hope he is happy in heaven as I hope his family the best too!

My heart has a hole in the middle of it, I am asking God to help heal how I feel everyday. I am at a lost I love and miss you so much(Freddy The Frog)sometime I can't breathe because it hurt so bad to know I can not pick up phone to hear your voice. I thank God to have had you in my life when I lost your mother and brother, because a piece of them were in you. I also thank God for the Saturday before your death talking for two hours, laughing and joking about childhood memories that we shared and the future we talked about, this is why it hurt so much my nephew my son. God will help me understand by and by, right now I am just silent and waiting.
Always Here

It was an honor to work with Koti as a clerk to start at the Nashua LDC. He was the most fun and hard working person I could ask to be around. He always made me laugh and smile. I was looking forward to him coming back this Saturday. There will be a sad hole in my heart for him.

Fly High my brother in Arms. You always seemed to know how to bring a smile to my face with your random messages that led us to reminiscing about tech school. You will be missed dear friend
