RIP bro, you definitely left a mark in my life and I regret not reconnecting with you more recent. Countless good nights at your moms and even living with me at my pops house, I got to know you and how talented and how much of a good person you were. You were a role model and a leader and I’m sure you were able to give your kids that and more. I hope you find peace and some wrestling to watch wherever you are.
