Kindest, gentle soul, a friend to all.
If you knew him, you know.
We’ll never get over him as long as we’re here on earth.
just keep his spirit alive with your memories and the music he made.”

“My baby boy was at the starting line with so much life ahead of him…
I have no idea why things like this happen.
We’re in complete shock and don’t know what the future holds.
Lizzy, Judah, and I have no idea how to deal with this disaster.
Thank you for your prayers and support.”
