Praying for peace and strength for you and your family!
Prayers from KY.. I couldn’t believe the news when I heard about your passing.. You touched a lot of people..
prayers and hugs for your sweet family. I’m so sad to hear of your passing.
Jonathan, Brandon, Bobby and I will always love and miss deeply. You touched so many hearts with the love and your giving ways. Our love goes out to the ones who truly loved you.
It took a little over 30 years for me to hear your voice, to hold a conversation with you and to begin to get to know you. 30 years of having to fill a void in part of my life with the presence of others because we were not in contact. While the last year or so has had it’s up and downs, beginning that process and getting to know you began to fill it in a way that I hadn’t ever truly felt before. I know that you touched a lot of peoples hearts, your presence uplifted a few and even set others straight. You will be missed and in time we’ll get back together again to recoup that time we could’ve had and started to get back. I was never one to really open myself up to others, keeping my feelings and thoughts to my self as much as possible but..I love you Dad and this world has gotten quite a bit dimmer without you and your voice to add to it’s chorus.
Trevor your dad loved you so very much. When he spoke to me about you, he spoke with such pride and how much he loved you. He was so overjoyed and excited to finally start a relationship with you and get to know you. He was very proud that he was your DAD. Just know he has loved you from the day you were born. Judy remember abd keep in your heart that Dad loved you with all his heart.
~ Always Faithful ~
Where do I begin, high school maybe
Remembered words spoken
Images so vivid, time moved slowly
A Superstar, never broken
Your dance moves turned heads
Raw thoughts dropped jaws
Best of the best, street creds
Law enforcement, few flaws
We have a l-o-n-g history, written
Loved the memories you’ve given
Decades etched into one stone
You promised me, pact made
We would never ever be alone
But God had plans, a parade
Your name called, trumpets
Played in honor of YOU
Semper Fi, Bulldog sits
Angels escort you through
We love and miss you June Bug!
