Dear Tree,

I am proud to be your oldest daughter, the one

who inherited not just your height but also your hustle, determination, and strength.

You always showed up, no matter what. Whether it was for your daughters, your grandchildren, or anyone who needed you, you stood tall and present. Our bond was something special, and I will carry it with me for the rest of my life. You taught me how to work hard, how to stand firm, and how to love without conditions. I will keep passing those lessons on to your grandchildren, Ryan, Ravyn, Rylan, and Ryana, the ones who loved their “TreeTree PawPaw” so deeply. At the end of the day, no matter what happened, we both knew the truth: I love you, and you love me! That is forever! Rest now, Daddy! I will keep your legacy alive in everything I do. With all my love, RaShanda

Daddy, Thank you! Thank you for loving me unconditionally and thank you for being my assistant coach. Daddy basketball will never be the same without you in the stands clapping me up, cheering me on, smiling, and fist pumpin and raising the roof and me knowing that means to turn it up! “The first 5 minutes baby!” A statement I’ve been hearing my

whole career! I never wondered if you were proud of me I always knew! You always showed up! Tree I love you and I will forever remember the many lessons you taught me! I love you so much! Watch over your baby girl! Your Baby, Trina

Treeee! Man, I’m going to miss you. From my very first memories of us, you always made me feel so special and so seen. I thank you for being the best dad and the most amazing friend to me. I can’t remember a time when you weren’t proud of me, and that belief in me will continue to fuel me. I can’t think of a better guardian angel. I’m going to miss your voice. To hear you say Miss Ashley made my heart smile so big. But my favorite was when you called me ARob like my teammates. I’m going to miss you everyday of my life. Job well done Tree. Visit me in my dreams. I love you. 1 Timothy 1:5 Ashley

Brother

Brother, with a love so true, You gave us strength in all you do. In every storm, you stood tall, A steady presence through it all. Brother, with your gentle touch, You made our burdens feel less tough. Your laughter echoed, warm and bright, A beacon shining through the night. Brother, now you’re free to rest, Your memory lives, forever blessed. In every heart, your spirit stays, A legacy time can’t erase.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone for your love, generosity, kindness, prayers, monetary gifts, food, time, phone calls, and presence during this difficult time. Your support has meant more to us than words can ever express.

Thank you, The Family A CTIVE P ALLBEARERS
