I will miss seeing your success in this world. You were always a quiet peaceful soul to be around, yet packed with so much gifting and grace. Amazing basketball player and loved God first.

Thank you for everything bro. The laughs, the disagreements, the advice, the corny jokes, for keeping me from doing crazy stuff. You became a piece of me and that piece will live in me forever. Love you bro.
