Prayers to the Ishmael family.. Errol, words can't express how saddened I am right now. I'm absolutely heartbroken to hear that we have lost you. Never thought Wednesday May 20, 2026 would be our last conversation when you texted me about going out to eat, ( I'm sure you wanted to go to Pauline's in oburg, being, that became your new favorite restaurant.) I responded that I was out of town and on vacation at the moment and that we (me and my sister Kelly Thomas ) could plan to take you out to eat soon, you replied (Good Deal) and 4 days later God called you home. Never thought that we would never get to go out to eat and spend time together again. Even though you already knew... I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how incredibly grateful, I am to have had you as a cousin. Your kindness and loving heart made the world brighter, and a much softer place. I admire how naturally you care for others, and I feel so deeply blessed to experience that love firsthand. No matter what was going on good days or bad days you always was in great spirit and would often check on others. Thank you cousin, for simply being you. Your beautiful soul and loving nature never cease to amaze me. Thank you for the endless warmth, patience, and compassion you brought into our family. I'm definitely going to miss coming to pick you up and bringing you to our family gatherings, whenever you wanted to come or needed a ride, I never hesitated to be there to pick you up. We shared a lot of laughter, memories, and good food. I'm thankful that I was able to spend some time with you once you moved back to SC this past year. You already knew that you were very much loved dearly by your entire family, and we all will miss you tremendously. No matter what, whenever I would ask how you were doing or feeling you would always say that you felt AMAZING. Not once have I heard you complained. You fought a great fight no more pain and suffering. I know you are in Heaven feeling quite AMAZING right about now, as you watch over us! Rest Peacefully Cousin Errol. Love and miss you much, cousin Khem T..
God has called you home no more pain is the greatest of all we will miss you my dear cousin, my back in the day dance partner and I remember the most at all the family cookouts at your father's house you taking my baby Zakariya around to get birthday wishes from everyone and how you loved my pasta.
