I love you dad, I will carry on you and the best characteristics you had, like helping anybody you could, especially your friends. You'd go out of your way to lend a hand. And you had your own view to life that you always shared with me, I think you and I are the only ones who have this view on life. You always told me to be the best person to everybody because life is short. You and I would always go for a ride around town with the windows down and take turns jamming out to our new favorite songs. You were a perfectionist at everything you did. From your designs, to handwriting to washing your car, you liked it perfect.
You showed me to do the things that men do. I'll forever lean to the side when i roll just like you. You loved ava, your tattoos, your cologne, your car, 49ers, your work, your little things you kept around, you loved lights, but you loved your family more. On July 3rd you told me that our new life in Colorado was gonna be the best for all of us and we will strive there. We were only a few days away. On July 3rd I gave you a huge hug and told you how much I loved you and how good of a father you are, you said how much you loved me too and how proud you were of me and nico. It brought us both to tears. although all I'm left with is memories, you will never be forgotten for the amazing man and father you are. I miss you dad. And I love you forever. - your son Mateo.
