I will never be the same again. I miss you Dad. You were the best dad anyone could've ever asked for. You taught me so much. I still ache, and am having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that I will never see your smiling face again. Everyone loved you so, so much, you were taken from us far too soon. I love you, Dad.

My heart is broken. I couldn't have asked for a better father. He taught me how to swim, take care of my cars, how to ride motorcycles. He and my mom took me on many adventures road tripping while riding in the side car of the motorcycle. I love you and I miss you, Daddy.
