When you were born, you gave us a feeling beyond words - a love so powerful it filled our hearts completely. As a baby, you were happy and content, full of curiosity, laughter, and a gentle spirit that never stopped shining. and as a toddler, you were always on the go, full of energy and curiosity. Watching you grow, stumble, rise, and grow again was one of the greatest privileges we´ve ever known. You made us proud in more ways than we could ever put into words, simply by being yourself
Your heart was so big that even as a child, you cared for your little cousins as if they were your own. When your brother came along, he wasn´t just our son - he was yours too. For 31 years, you filled that role in his life with unwavering love, and we can never express how much that meant to us.
You have always been the best brother, the kind of friend anyone would be blessed to have. Your soul was beautiful, your kindness unmatched, and your smile unforgettable. Your heart was enormous, and your compassion was endless as it was stitched into your character. There is truly no better person we could have wished for as a son, a brother, and a friend.
What we wouldn´t give for one more conversation. One more look. One more ordinary day filled with small, forgettable things that never felt all that important-until they became everything. We´d give anything just to hold your hand again, to hear your voice, even just to sit in silence together, knowing you were near. Those everyday moments now feel like treasures we didn´t know we were collecting, each one now priceless, etched forever in our hearts and souls.
Though we must say goodbye for now, we know your love will live on in every heart you touched. We will carry your light with us always, until the day we meet again, we love you.
