Junior. just a note of respect and remembrance on the day of your birth. Can still hear your comical voices that were just a taste of your talent in theatre. If I had a fonder appreciation for you when you were here, if I had only known. I look back and do have many great memories of our childhood and the many things in life we did. You are inspirational in how you took on the challenges you faced in life and persevered. Love and fond memories of you.

Big Bro, looking to you for some guidance these days. the world is turning sideways and it makes it tough to know which end is up some days. I long for a time where people were authentic and endearing towards one another. Now, we are at each other's throats, mired in mistrust and disinformation. You spent a significant portion of your life trying to make other's lives better. Please rain some of that down on this world. Miss you my friend.
Love. Nick

Learie,
As others have commented, you would have been 52 today. Truly hard to believe a life as positive and loving as yours could be cut short. We are facing the most peculiar of events during these times, which makes people question the very thought of humanity and what it is to be decent and selfless. You represented that in who you were, a lesson we can all learn from. I will always smile and think of you as good and noble and hope that we all could walk in that manner.
Love you always, Nick

Today you would have been 52 years old but God saw fit to pick you for His garden a bit earlier than we had hoped. Your memory continues to warm our hearts and lift our spirits as we reflect on the happiness you brought to so many. Thank you, son, for sharing so much of yourself in your short time; you left us way too soon, but you will never be forgotten. Continue to R.I.P.

It's been almost a decade of life that has passed by. I still remember you as if it was just yesterday we last saw each other.

I will always be grateful for the time we had. Thank you and love always. RIP Learie.

Happy birthday, Junior! Gone but not forgotten.
Seems like yesterday when we last spoke and I vividly remember your promise to come visit soon. That never materialized but I know in my heart your desire was sincere. You taught us all what compassion was all about and, for that, I will forever be grateful. Miss you tremendously and think of you often.
Much love, Mom

Hey Big guy, Happy Birthday!!! I'm sure you're smiling on us today and I wanted to celebrate the time you were here with us by wishing you a happy birthday. It's been an eternity it seems but yet it feels like you were here just the other day. You were a beacon of humanity and represented all that is good in the human spirit. You always carried yourself with dignity, decency and honor, which sadly is lacking in our society today.
Thanks for the lessons about the value of life that I am now realizing and to treat people with love and honesty. You are forever missed Learie.
Love always, Nick

I always looked up to and admired Learie. In high school, He was a senior and good friends with my brother, and I was a freshman. He was always very kind to me and looked out for me. He and I watched Michael Jordans first dunk contest together over at my house and he stayed the night and we ended up watching it over and over and over again, as I recorded it. We were both really big fans... such a great person to be around ....God bless you my friend....

Hey my dear brother, remembering today is a very special day. It's the day the Lord decided to share your loving spirit with the world. Remembering you on this glorious day of your admittance to this world. Thank you God for bestowing such a beautiful light to us and allowing us to bask in its glow for 42 years. The flame may no longer be visible to our naked eye but still burns strong in our hearts. Love you always and will see you again one day.

Can't believe it's been 6 years. Feels like it was just the other day I heard the words "love you baby brother". It's still surreal to me that you're gone from this physical world. Sometimes life just has no answers to your questions other than faith. I know you are safe and among the stars and that provides much solace. Till that time when we meet again.

I will carry forth with an overly positive attitude in this day and look to pass the blessings of your spirit on to all I encounter. Today is your day to live among us. You were a beautiful spirit and individual inside and out and are sorrowfully missed. Continue to look over us with your indelible smile. Love is eternal and keeps the world in motion.
Love you big bro, miss you and hope to see you some day...

Four years seems like forever. I do think of you and the great and loving person that you were. You are continuously missed in this world as we consistently experience the realities of the lack of compassion and care that people exhibit in this day and age. We are too often reminded that life is taken for granted and often carelessly wasted. That is a frustrating thing when I know that you spent your time on earth enriching the lives of others. You are missed and remembered fondly on this day big brother...

I pride myself on ad-libing and moving away from the script during scenes to make the other characters laugh. So here I am on the right as Mavis singing and testifying when suddenly there's a loud thud. Learie drops to his knees from the chair and starts upstaging me. He's ad-libing and I remember trying hard to stay in character because I was dying with laughter. He caught me off guard and I loved it. Only Bruggadung could test Mavis.
A gift from God
March 5, 2011
I had the honor of knowing him because of my friendship/sisterhood with his Aunt Lana. Junior as he was affectionately know was the sweetest, most gentle and humble spirit you could ever meet. His signature smile could light up any room. In his speech was sincerity that poured from the heart. I know God heard your voice and gave you rest. In Him you found peace and healing and I know your soul is with Him. My last memory of Junior was at the Curry-cue fundraiser hosted by Lan and he was there supportive as always lending a helping hand whenever needed. I remember that same support when his Auntie Lan coordinated and catered Charanna's graduation celebration. You stood with her right to the end and you didn't come alone, you had the support of good friends. Auntie Lan was always there for you too, a quiet tower of strength and undying love. Your physical presence will be missed but in our hearts you'll always live. A gift from God for whom I'm truly grateful I had the opportunity to know and love.
