Man I hate to hear this, It breaks my heart. You were a brother from another mother to me. You've been in our family for more or less my whole life. You were my brother's best friend, my sister's husband, my nephew's and niece's dad and one hell of a man. I remember when you gave me my Miss Funk tattoo and I'm really glad it was you that gave it to me because it will always hold special memories for me now. Love you brother rest in heaven hug my brother for me and know that this family loves you

Thank you for being the best dad. We will never forget your silly, loving personality. You were always there when needed the most. We love you and will forever miss you.
