I can't believe it's been 2 whole years and I'm still coming back to view your obituary😢 it's just my head can't rap around the fact that you're actually gone and I keep trying to tell myself that you are in a better place, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. When I lost you I sincerely lost my father and my shoulder to cry on. I'm graduating in a few days and I'm going to high school I know you would be proud. But as I grow up please still be watching over me on my journey ahead and I don't know where life is gonna take me but I'm proud to know that you will be by my side every step of the way! I can't wait to see you again uncle jr ❤️🥹you are forever and always in my heart🫶🏾

This is actually my uncle he was a father figure to me when my dad wasn't around he was and still is my pride and joy this man literally put diapers on me, he used to always say "Two wrongs don't make no right", and that is the most valuable thing he have taught me, also he taught me that love and success is the most respected revenge.He lived with me and my grandma and 4 other kids and people we lived in a house of 13 people and their wasn't a day that he didn't look out and cared for every single person in that house man you don't know how much a person means to you until their gone and when he left this earth it felt like my whole world collapsed and I really miss him and I know that everybody that knew and was helped by him do too.
