  7. I wish I would have been able to keep in better touch. You were one of my best friends growing up in North Anderson. I am sorry I was not there for you, you were like a brother to me. I send my love and condolences to your mom and the rest of your family. Love you brother, see you when I get there.

  12. My childhood bud, I haven’t seen you in so so many years. I told my mom I’d like to see your face. Your pictures warmed my heart. I’ve always carried with me memories of you, your mom, and siblings. We used to chill and watch MTV, Beavis and Butthead, and listen to Metallica. In my mind you’ll be that cool dude. Never forgotten ❤️

I felt ur spirit when they took u away that day, I spoke to us through the wind chimes on ur porch. We will each carry a piece of you with us, always. Im grateful for the time we had.
