I know we are not suppose to question God, but I can't help but ask WHY!! Why was such an amazing man taken from this world so soon?! You impacted so many lives in such a positive way, your smile and your laugh were contagious. Your friendship was undeniable, pure and honest. You cared for everyone around you, especially your children and family. And to us, you were family and always will be. We could never forget you and will hold all the memories of you with us forever. We miss you and we love you! Always! Megan K.
