Leave a tributeAnother year has come and gone .13 years ago today God called you home. I think of that day often and still ask God why he choose you and what truly happened that night. You fought for hours to stay with us but God had more power.Many hearts was broken that night and many hearts 13 years later never mended, never will. Mommas heart is filled with much love for my family, but much pain and emptiness since we lost you.i sit alot in the evenings and talk to you let you know what's been going on and often wonder how your life would of progressed and if you would of ever got that lil girl you wanted to have .Holidays are rough because the family is not whole without you there physically, hearing your voice, that beautiful smile., oh Bub I miss you so. I sit and look out my windows asking God to send me a sign that you hear me and can still feel mommas love. We've seen beautiful butterflies and cardinals. Never one by themselves, they stick around for awhile, I watch till they fly away,I know that's your way of letting me know your still there just not in human form.
Momma still ask you keep those angels around your sons and protect them from any harm ,pain.,they've had enough of that in their young lifetime. Love and miss you dearly.,unconditionally

It's been twelve years.
Twelve years still with many fears.
Fears that consist of nothing but tears.
The fear that you are not physically here throughout the years.
The fear that we now walk slowly on life's stepping stones.
The fear that your voice is no longer heard on our phones.
The fear that you're out of reach.
The fear that you've taken with you only what father's can teach.
The fear that we still picture you at twenty-seven.
The fear that we were never ready for it to be in heaven.
The fear that we have been robbed of time.
The fear that we're pretending to be fine.
The fear of losing you.
The fear that will forever keep us blue.
The fear that more fears will come.
The fear that none of it can be undone.
The fears we HAVE overcome...
Are due to being your sons.
Let us not fear any longer.
For your memory will only make us stronger.

Twelve years without you has been terribly blue.
Twelve years of missing that smile has been such a long while.
Twelve years of missing your voice would definitely never be our choice.
Twelve years of missing your goofiness has only added to our weakness.
Twelve years of missing our talks is still a part of life's shocks.
Twelve years without you is something we find hard to believe to be true.
Twelve years at all has really made us fall.
Twelve years we've had to get back up and be strong so that your memory will live on long.
Twelve years we will never forget the day your freedom was set.
Twelve more years full of more tears.
Until we meet again in time our hearts will never be fine.
We love and miss you!!!!!!

Hello my son, it's been 11 years ago today that momma had to say goodbye, instead of just saying talk at you later.When that damn dr told me you was gone, mommas heart stopped, my life stood still.my heart was shattered.When you left a big piece of my heart went with you.
You was my lil dare devil every since you could walk,and as the years passed you never out grew that, you always had me on my toes. As you grew into a man I was so proud of you. Your heart was as big as the sky. So very proud of the young father you was and how you grew with your sons, Dre and Logan couldn't of had a better father. The love and pride you had for them lit up the skies and to this day it still does.
They have grown up to be young men you would be so proud of and just to let you know they are alot like you in so many ways .Since you left us they have been alot of my survival. As long as we have them in our lifes we will always have a part of you.You now have a beautiful grandson you would be so proud of him, No not Dre ,lol but Bub. Hes a good dad just like you was. We all miss you soooooooo much. Ly misses you so much, you was his son but also his bestfriend. You touched so many lifes throughout the years we was blessed to have you. I still ask god why he took you and yet still waiting for a answer. The pain of you gone has never eased I just get up everyday put a smile on my face and get thru one more day. I see you often when I close my eyes , sometimes tears fill my eyes and others put a smile on my face. I see you, Ly, myself our last day together riding on the motorcycles.smiles on our faces and you worried about having suntan lines cause you was wearing you wife beaters, lol.
Miss you greatly my son, I know you are always with us, watching over keeping us safe.
Rest in heaven my Bub until the day we reunite.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Much love!

Our beginning!
Deon and I met in high school. You can say we were high school sweethearts for sure:) We never left one another's side. He was in my older sister's (Julie) art class. My sister came to me one day and said, "There is this guy in my art class that likes you." I thought, "And not you?" Haha! My sister was and is so beautiful. Deon and I starting sending one another notes through my sister and soon drawings came. The most beautiful drawings that I still possess:) From then on we were inseperable. I have so many memories with Deon. The ones I remember the most were when he did the craziest things to see me. He walked in the snow from Wilsonville to Gillespie without shoes. Yikes! LOL! I remember going to Wilsonville and going to the bar with him, my sister, his sister and our friends to play pool. I remember our date to the movies and he borrowed a cool car to take me on the date. Hahahaha! I remember our first kiss on my front porch. Sorry Red! LOL! He was a gentleman to your Lorie though. Awhile later came the call. As soon as I called Deon he knew what it was about and said, "I know!" I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "You are pregnant, aren't you?" I replied, "Yes." We were so young and scared, but it was almost as we just knew everything would be okay and we would be good parents no matter what came our way. Our first bundle of joy came on the first day of spring on March 20, 1998. He was such an adorable baby with dimples and a tongue he couldn't keep in his mouth. Lmbo! We named him Deondre. He was our fireball and comedian and still is to this day. I was soon pregnant again and Deon went to every appointment as he did with Deondre. He never missed a beat! He loved being a dad! Then, on the first day of summer on June 21, 1999 we had our second handsome baby boy. He was slinky and looked so much like Deon. We named him Logan. He was our shy and reserved boy and today he still is, but more of his smile has appeared:) Both of our boys have now grown into amazing young men. Deon was and has always been proud of his boys. I only wish he could be here today to experience it all with me. Deon's life was definitely cut too short and it has not been fair. Every day that passes has not made anything better, but only harder to be without him.
We miss and love you so, Deon!!!!!!!
