Note from wife and children:

From Aniya: To my best friend, you were one of the best people I’ve ever known and the rarest. You always put everyone’s needs before yourself, but now this is your time. Fly high, Daddy. Although you may be gone in the flesh, I know your spirit will always live with me.

Jabrian: Even though you were taken from us. I know that you are now at peace and in a better place with the Lord smiling down on us. You are my dad no matter what; I love you, and you will be missed but not forgotten, and I’m going to use the things you taught me and showed me. Thanks for everything.

Wife Lemica: This was not how things were supposed to go. This was not supposed to happen to you, but it did. You always used to say, “who are we that things can’t happen to us?”. I never knew what being in love was until I met you. You were and are still my world no matter where we are. In my heart is where you will remain until we meet again. I love you so much and will miss you forever.
