it's been a tough time without you here royboy, there is not a day that goes by that I don't miss you . I still think about all the good times I had with you and all the fun things that we had did with dad and the family. I miss you bugging me when I was upset. Still to this day I will not bait my own hook.. That was your job, now it is dads. I miss you bugging me about going fishing or even to just go do something. I still to this day do not believe that you're gone. It feels like you're just gone on a trip and that you will be back soon. i still remember when we were on our way to sandusky for layla's birthday and we stopped at a gas station and we walked inside looking for sunflower seeds and we had found a bottle of milk and it was halfway gone and we thought it was so weird that it was just sitting there in the fridge. I miss you a lot roy, I miss seeing you at my games and hearing "Lets go bubbles¨. I just wish you were here to see all of us grow up and see what we could become and what we could do. In about three months im going to be fifteen which is only one year away from me getting my license and I remember you saying that I was gonna drive you places everywhere . I have a lot more I could say but Im kinda sitting here in class writing this so.. anyway i miss you and until we meet again royboy :/

Thank you for long summer nights of fishing and fun. Helping me discover my love of Dale Jr. Deep conversations about life and lost loves. You were always there with wisdom and jokes. You will be missed but never forgotten.

My brother from another mother... I am heartbroken. I can't believe that I will never hear your goofy laugh again or see pictures that you posted of the big fish that you caught. You will be truly missed. Rest easy my brother.

I don’t even know where to begin, I’m lost at words right now. I messaged you a few months ago doing our check ins like we do a few times a year never got a response I figured you was busy so tonight I went to message you typed your name in and I seen how people put how they miss you and stuff I didn’t even know and I’m so mad and upset because I didn’t even know and didn’t even get to say bye I should have stayed in contact more. But I’ll cherish the moments we had we had a lot of fun you got me through my divorce and kept my head high my kids loved you for sure especially Mia. We was due for bowling it had been awhile since we went bowling. Definitely miss you buddy. As soon as I seen you was gone the tears came and I’m sorry. I can’t imagine your family and kids pain. Make sure you’re watching over them. I know they are missing you. Gosh I miss your smile it always lite up a room.
