around 11 years ago, I had these new neighbors in my little ghetto part of SE Salem, I peeped these 2 fools "trying" to rap to a little boom box playing 3-6 Mafia on their porch... I opened up my door like a boss as I ran the show around these parts :), they both froze lol. Bryan & Jared.... Brothers, I invited them in, they met my room mate, we became really good friends. We had poker nights, parties, we knew eachothers family, personal history, battles in life & looked out for one another. This point in time I was trying to better my life, Bryan did not have many friends and he had a chip on his shoulder. Bryan needed some motivation in his life and just so happened my life was on the rise to bigger and better and I figured our friendship would give him a little boost. I had a good job, responsibilities to stay clean, had a nice car, many honeys coming to visit me on the daily believe that, I had a good head on my shoulders, I was still in my bachelor stage so don't judge lol. I was going about my life in a positive direction compared to my past. I took Bryan to his 1st strip club on his 21st B-Day, gave him $100 as a present and told him "we aint livin it low bro, it's your night party" :) I exposed Bryan to his 1st TrillVille CD, I also refered to some things as "keepin it TRILL" I introduced Bryan to a few of some of my most trusted friends, gave him all the advice I could on how to treat a lady, I mentored him in a way. When Bryan had hope and was motivated, he was larger than life, very funny and a blast to be around. I was 4 years older than Bryan, been through alot of shit and learned from it and I always shared my insperations in life with him when he was down. Bryan always told me that he looked up to me, I showed him the bright side of a World he ruled as ugly and hopeless. In 2008, I got married, had an even better job, the economy was getting worse, I had to do what was best for myself and my family by re-locating out of town. I still chatted with him via-FB overtime, time seemed to be just flying bye, I had no idea who he was hanging with etc. I just could not be much in the loop anymore due to work etc. Looking back on our time before the "Mack Million" and all that, you all must know that "Once upon a time" Bryan had really good friends & the time of his life. I as we all do wish he was still with us, I was devestated when I found out, I had a million questions that needed answers but the only person I wanted to talk to was Bryan. It was a honor to be a part of his life. To Kelly & Jared, words can't describe how sorry I am for your loss, stay strong. I know it's been a while but the time was needed to reflect & speak up. To Bryan= It was not your time bro, I will never forget the good times, I will always remember you at your best, full of life, full of dreams and one of the best friends I ever had. My neighbor, My homie, My friend, we will see eachother again some day.... RIP B.
