To the man who raised me, motivated me, inspired me and encouraged me:
I will miss you so very much.

You left us with a lifetime of memories that will forever be etched in my mind...from camping trips, to board games, to wrestling events, to playing catch, to homework help, to sharing food...you were always there for me growing up when I needed you.

Thank you, for everything you did for our family. You sacrificed so much in order to support us financially throughout the years. I will always remember your wisdom, sense of humor, kind spirit and giving heart. You worked so hard each day to ensure that we never went without in order to provide us with opportunities to succeed in life.

All I ever wanted was to make you proud, pops. I know you will be watching over me in a better place now where you can finally feel at ease; somewhere you can heal, rest and find peace.

I pray you are still able to impart your knowledge upon us and guide us from afar. Hold and embrace all of us in your loving arms when challenges arise. It brings me a sense of joy knowing you're undoubtedly already catching up on lost time with grandpa above the clouds. I love you more than words can articulate, Dad. You are safe now. May angels guide you in
