Love you bro! Till my casket drops and I see you again!!

My life suddenly lost all light the day my son was taken from this life. It’s been 7 years since that tragic day, but I still relive the pain every day. I love you my sweet son. I will see you again one day real soon.

Fly high sweet son if mine.

I couldn’t have asked for a better big brother or a better god father to my son , you had a personality like well mine ahaha , you will forever be my best friend , every time I hear an Eminem song or “leather so soft” by lil Wayne I automatically think of & miss you , until we meet again big bro , just watch over Matthew , we love & miss you more than you could Ever imagine.

Trevor, It’s been 285 days since I last saw you. I have not been the same since that day. There is not a day that goes by when I do not think of you; I remember your goofy laughter and your little jokes. You coming over and raiding my fridge. Laying on my bed with Velcro, watching TV. Working on your climbing moves on the big cedar in the backyard. Brianna Kristine sometimes comes and hangs out with me. We laugh at the rotating frame on the kitchen window, featuring pictures of you cliff-jumping, doing backflips, and loving life. Then the golf pictures come up, and you look so happy! I am not sure why you went back one more time to what almost destroyed you before. Over 3 years free from the barbed wire chain of drugs. Perhaps it’s when you were rushed to the hospital with a severe kidney stone and they gave you opiates. The medic called me after arriving at your place, as you had insisted they let me know. He told me that you were bleeding a lot and that they thought you had hurt yourself. I know you were in a LOT of pain, but perhaps that brought back some of the memories of drugs being fun at one time. I pray that you are at peace and that you can see down, and that you know that you have impacted so many! I love you Trevor. I miss you 💔🫶

My boy you were such a bright light in so many lives, especially your baby girl Gracelynn. I am still beyond devastated that you are no longer walking with us. I know you are watching over your mom and your baby Gracelynn. I love and miss you terribly, until we meet again my handsome nephew <3

5 yrs ago I (we) lost you to addiction but in my heart it still feels like yesterday. I will always be proud of the man you became, I will always miss you my son & I will always love you more…to the moon & stars & back again. You will forever be 28 & I will forever be broken…. until we meet again. Love momma bear

Hey Dad, its been a while. I still miss you. I will never know why you had to do what you did, you were doing so well, you were almost clean again. I still wonder if I could have done anything to help, I mean, I know I couldn’t I was only five. It still hurts. Love you dad, see you sooner than later.

Alex. I wish you were here. I wish you could meet our daughter. I wish you didn’t have to leave us. I know that everything happens for a reason and I know our paths collided because they were meant to. Because in such a short period of time you taught me what love was. The kind of love that was pure and passionate and unlike anything I had ever known before you. Thank you for coming into my life and loving me. Thank you for giving me our beautiful daughter. I will always tell her about you, and I will make sure she grows up knowing she had a father who loved her, even though you were gone before she was born. You will live on through us. I love you.

Hey Baby Brother , I love you and miss you so much everyday I wake up and see you as a constant reminder that I’m still here and you’re not , it bothers me so much I’m not with you. You were my best friend, you are still my best friend I just wish I could hug you brother and tell you how much u meant to me, how much I loved you and had your back. I’m going through it right now you know life and I need you to be here with me and get me through this time and to the place I know I need to be. Watch over us please, Mom, Dad, Nana, Love , AJ , Romo , Lala , Sonny , Guero & Me we all miss you so much and I hope you know you’ll never be forgotten♥️

A beautiful mother, wife, and everything else.
Part of her soul still shines within me.

Unbearably tragic & gone too soon. We had too many future plans, memories, music and our own futures together. Until we meet again and connect our souls as one again. Reunite us as the family we’ve built me you & midi. I love you unconditionally Landyn, you’ll always be the abstract art in our modern museum. Love always your Cassie in the city.

I never knew what real pain was until October 5th 2021. To say my heart was broken, shattered, or crushed would be an understatement. If he knew he was gonna leave us, he never would have done those drugs that day. River had the kind of soul that everyone was attracted to. He was always smiling. He loved everyone!! We had our whole lives ahead of us and we were doing so good staying clean, going to church, doing everything we were supposed to be doing.. but that day he gave in and got high. That choice he made changed mine and many others lives forever. Mine will never be the same. I will never be okay from this. I hope everyone remembers who River truly was and NEVER forgets him. I know I never will let his name be forgotten!
I LOVE YOU MORE AND MOST<3
ALWAYS&FOREVER.

You were my lover and my best friend. I am so blessed to have fallen in love when we were both sober. I saw the true Brandon, the soft, gentle, child-like man that I fell so deeply in love with. I refuse to put your death in vain. I will live on, sober. Our son Lex is a little piece of you, here on Earth.

Damian,
I want to apologize for not telling you in length how much you mean to me, your sister, and our family. You brought so much joy to our lives. The last thing I said to you was “I love you”, but I hope you know that I meant it and those were not just words.
I often cry in the mornings on my commute to work when I am alone and the world around me is quiet. I cry not only for the grief in my own heart, but for your family and loved ones, and mostly for you.
You were about 3 years old when you came into my life…you were such a special little boy. You brought so much joy and laughter to our lives and I hope you know that we always considered you to be part of our family. When your sister was born, it only solidified that bond and I will never forget how proud you always were to be her big brother. I hope you know that she felt the same way and that she adored you. I hope you know the peace and comfort you brought to her heart just by being there. I am not sure if you realized how thankful she was to have you and how thankful I was to know that you two had each other. Thank you for taking her out to dinner for her birthday a few years back, you may not have known it, but she was struggling at that time and that meant the world to her.
I feel so blessed for the time we shared when you were little. There were several years that you were with me a lot and I wouldn’t trade those for the world. I have many fond memories of that time that I will forever cherish.

I know that we didn’t see each other much as you got older, but I want you to know that that never took away from how much your sister and I love you. I pray that you know how much you meant to me. I wish to God that I could take away your pain and I hope you know that I was always there if you ever needed me. I love you and I promise to be there for your family in any way that I can. You have always held a special place in my heart and you always will.
With Love,
Kerri

To my brother, Z, you’ve been gone for over 7 years now, but I still miss you every day. You were the best friend I’ve ever known, and more than that, you were a true brother to me. I continue to look back fondly on the memories of trips and fun times we shared — I only wish we could have shared more. I hope you are at peace. We will meet again one day.

Janni, we miss you!!! 😔💔💔💔💔

We miss you Papa. 😔💔💔💔

Lives cut short, futures lost, times and relationships detached. Just memories now and thoughts of what could have been.
