You will always be fondly remembered from lifting after church to getting me back in shape after I left the military. You always reminded me that I gave you your first weight belt. We never imagined the funny kid from church would touch the world. You made us proud with your accomplishments and you broke our hearts with your departure. Until we meet again. Under that gigantic physique was the always comedic Cedric who loved to laugh. Goodnight friend

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Cedric's family, loved ones, and friends. I had the honor and privilege to know Cedric through his many year engagement with Scitec Nutrition. Cedric was a true sportsman and a gentleman. He was humble and had a huge heart of gold. He was an artist who sculpted his body to perfection. Rest in peace Cedric. You were taken from all of us far too soon.

Prayers for the family that he loved so much

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends. Cedric was a lovely man and a great father to his children. I remember him as a big teddy bear and will never forget the time he taught me the song 'Anouk - Michel' on the guitar. That memory always brings me joy and has stuck with me. He always made everyone feel welcome and had a positive impact on so many people. He will be deeply missed.❤
