2/1/18 we lost a beautiful soul. He was just a kid really. Born in 1995, only being 22 and had gone through so much. Drugs had been in and out of his life since he was 15/16. He did his best to try to stay sober, but the addiction had been too powerful. He was so kind and loving. He could light up a room. Everyone gravitated towards him because he had the best sense of humor. His love for other people and animals would melt your heart. He had so much potential to be the best at whatever he put his mind to. He was so so smart. He left behind a beautiful girlfriend who is going to give birth soon to their son. I know he didn’t mean to do this. His body just couldn’t take it anymore. I am gonna miss him so much. I just know that he’s reunited with his grandmother now and that he isn’t struggling anymore. I love you Oliver. I wish I could have done more, sweet boy. I hope you have found peace.
