“Though I prayed for more, I am thankful for all the years spent with you. I may not have agreed with the ‘how’ but I've always understood the ‘why’. You chose the path walked, though it was frightening and dark, because you hoped for a better life not only for yourself but also for all of those you loved. This hope fueled your way.

Roman’s 12:19 Dearly Beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. “ Brotherly Love -Jalique “Choyce... Your fearlessness, your heart, and your spirit have always been an inspiration to me. From the moment we met, our bond as brothers was strong and rare. There was never a time when we just flat out disagreed. I cherish the memories of our trips, our time living together, working together, and sharing meals. More importantly, I am grateful that you trusted me with your thoughts and sought my advice when you needed it. Though you may not have always followed it, you always considered it, and for that, I am thankful. You always told me how much you respected me as the man I am for your sister, and how “I'm the only one you ever liked” and that held weight . You were a resilient individual, and your strength in facing challenges was out of this world. Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but your memory will always be cherished in our hearts. Rest in peace, my brother. “ -Devin

I’ll hold tightly to that understanding and carry it with me throughout my life, through the stories I tell you. I am so thankful to have known you, so proud to have called you my boy. I love you. “ -Dad

“My son, though gone too soon. Your brief life reshaped eternity. Through your death, I learned to live, In your loss, I found meaning. I held you for but a fleeting moment Yet your imprint on my heart remains - As my fingers traced your tiny fingers, Your soul touched my soul. My eternal son, you remain forever. In memories, I cherish prayers,

Watching you grow from infant to man In moments replayed over and over.

Now when I close my eyes I see you, smiling back at me - Telling me without words What truly lasts beyond death: The love we leave behind In the hearts we touch, The lessons we teach By how we live and die. My son, though here briefly You shaped eternity

And taught me the only truth that matters: To love with abandon, Without counting the cost. My precious boy, now your eternal song Continues playing within my heart, Guiding me home.” -MOM
