Dad, I’m so thankful for all the memories we shared together. I only wish you were here to make more. Life hasn’t been the same without you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN, keep them records playing. God bless

Happy Birthday Dad! You are missed beyond measure! I love you!

Always in my heart. Sleep in peace.

It’s been a year ago that the Heavenly Father took you home, it doesn’t get any easier knowing that your not gonna be here for all the special moments to come. Keep the music playing. God Bless You

You should be here for your birthday but you are now in that heaven above. Just wana say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a great and loving man... I know there’s a big party in heaven. May you rest in the hands of angels. Party on.

When i first got the news all i could think of was getting to you as fast as i could. I wanted to be with you, i wanted to hug you, i wanted to hold your hand, i didnt want you to be alone! I wanted to see you Dad but i never got the chance. Today will be the hardest day of my life, finally getting the chance to see you but not at all how i envisioned you to be. The tremendous void In my life and the scar that will be left behind will be one that could never heal. I dont know if you'll ever know how much you really mean to me but i want you to know that not a second goes by that i dont miss or think of you! Cherishing all the memories of us, thanking you for all that you taught me, all that you've instilled in me, for all your hard work, for never giving up even when things seemed impossible. You are the best father anyone could have asked for and you were one hell of a man!! You set the bar so high and are truly an example of what every man/father should be. Your love of music has touched so many people in so many different ways and i know your so proud to know that. DJ Mel-Song for the heavens now, they are so lucky to have you. I love you Dad! I always have & I always will.
Your Shan

Sleep in Peace Merrell. My prayers are with you and your family. I remember you well from our childhood days at Uriah Hill and all through high school.  No doubt great music will be your gift to the heavens. God Bless.

I will never forget the memories we shared and the music that reminds me of you. Keep the records playing. Peace my friend. Jv , as you always called me.

Gone too soon. Love and miss you Cuz. Rest in peace with the heavenly choirs. Music was your passion, make a joyful noice unto the Lord and his angels.

May you always play your music for the lord, continue to watch over your children with all the love you have to give. Sleep in piece
