You were loved by all, a joy and privilege to know and have you as my Nephew. Your smile could light any room and it is hard to look into the crowd and not see that smile, those dimples and hear that giggle.  I remember when you were born and came home you fit in a shoe box. You weighed 4lbs and 4oz. So tiny, but you grew to be such a fine young man.
You were my little road dog when I lived in Texas and you were just a little dude, BOOTS! Those boots and a diaper, shorts it didn't matter, but them boots were gonna be worn. 
When vacation time came and family reunions I loved the thought of you coming and staying at my house I was so excited to see you pull in the driveway. Then when it was time for you to go it took all I had not to cry as I waved goodbye seeing you leave that same driveway.
You were a loving Father, you have two young men that are following your path and I know you have the best seat in the house watching them grow. A Husband any woman would be proud to have, I am glad you had happiness in the last year with Heather although it was shortlived I knew you were where you wanted to be. As a Son you were your Mama's rock! A loyal loving Brother, Uncle, Nephew, and Cousin. Friends, you had many because you never met a stranger......that is what made you so unique. 
You will always be loved and missed. I know you are in a better place now and you are within us all in your own special way. But I will always, always have a heavy heart losing you. Gone too soon baby boy.
