I will be honest, I don't really know what to put in here exactly, so I apologize if I do this incorrectly.

I really really REALLY wish he wore his helmet, one of the last things I said to him in person was for him to wear his helmet, before he went out. Both Alaric and I did. He'd always joke around and say "I'll wear it next time!" Then the next morning our mom knocks on out door and BAM we got the news. I guess I'm still a little bit upset still by the way things happened. 

My Dad was really funny at times and he would always try to get my brother and I out of the house to do fun stuff. Would that be going out to eat, going to fun events, or even riding on the back of this motorcycle. I know he loved both of us. He would always tell us how much he loved us both, like every single day almost. He also became a really big hugger, I don't know how that really happened but I wish I hugged him more.

I know that my dad had a bunch of buddies online and he would tell Alaric and I about them, the ones that live across the world to the ones that lived in the states.  And I do know my dad was a very loyal friend. Helping out his buddies whenever they needed it and they would help him.

My Dad also really loved his hobbies, would that be motorcycle riding, games, music, working out and plenty others. He'd play his guitar every day and I'd be right behind him as he played. He would even invite me to play games with his buddies like Red Dead and For Honor. Those were fun. He'd always try and include Alaric and I into these hobbies, by taking us out on his motorcycle, to trying to convince us to learn how to ride ourselves, (which is now a goal of mine.)To trying to get us into music, and getting in shape by working out and boxing. All those fun things.

I know my dad was always a people person, he'd tell me he had the "Gift of Gab." He always liked to say "You take a lot after your old man." I will admit, I'm gonna miss all his cheesy little sayings, I'm gonna miss being called "Kiddo."   

I love you dad.

Rest in peace

I’ve thought a lot about this since Adam passed away and I think I’m ready to say a few things about my friend. Firstly, and just for his family and friends in Arizona, I wanted you to know (if you didn’t know already) that Adam meant a very great deal to group of friends all over the world. For the last 12 years Adam has been a beating heart for a group of gamers, to which I proudly belong. From all over the US, to Holland, to Ireland, to Greece and here in the UK, where I sit writing this.

Although we never met in the real world, Adam and I spoke about all things. We did this of course playing games, sometimes as part of the group, sometimes just the two of us. We played Star Trek online, Red Dead, Star Wars, GTA (Gay), Warhammer to name just a few. We laughed our ass’s off playing, trolling others, winning and losing in PVP, we had a blast. We dissected movies, TV shows, current affairs, conspiracies (Adam loved a conspiracy!), news, politics, guns, bikes and boats. The WhatsApp Group (which he started) was never quiet, and I was even called upon once or twice for sartorial advice for Mr Gregory. 

Most of all though, we spoke about our lives, our families, and our children. Over these many years of gaming, we’ve both seen our kids grow up, mine are about the same age and I know just how much Adam loved Alaric and Ayva. He spoke of them always.

I am still mourning for my friend and miss him, I know for a fact we all do.  He lived life to the full and despite this sadness I am delighted and feel blessed to have known him.

Rest in Peace buddy

What a sweet and gentle soul. I’m sure Dan was there when you crossed over. The two of you together again is what helps with a lot of the sorrow. Rest in peace brother.
