AT MOBILE AIRPORT, HE CALLS MY HUSBAND TELLING HIM EMMIT SMITH WAS ON THE PLANE WITH AND BROOKLYN.  I WANTED SO BADLY FOR A PICTURE TO MAKE MY BROTHER IN LAW JEALOUS HES A DIE HARD COWBOYS AND IM A STEELERS FAN.  ANYWAY, WE TOOK THEM OUT TO DINNER AND YHATS THE LAST I SAW HIM.  BUT WE TALKED ALL THE TIME THE SONG HE WROTE ABOUT IRONWORKERS AND AT THE END IT SAYS LEE, KEVIN ANGUS AND WARREN, WELL WARREN WORKED FOR MY HUSBAND THAT PASSED AND KEVIN IS MY ON THAT PASSED BRITTON TEXT ME AND CHEK ON ME FOR A LONG TIME AFTER HIS DEATH.  I DONT KNOW IF HE EVER MENTIONED SHANNON AND MICHELE ANGUS BUT WE TALKED ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME AND I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR YOR LOSS AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM SMILING

Britton and my ex were really close friends at one point in their lives. That’s how I met him. You know how there are some people that you meet, and they always have a special place in your heart and are unforgettable? That was him. The best way I could describe him is unforgettable.

He had an amazing, lively personality that was captivating, and to be around him was to feel his joy, his love, and his warmth. I really enjoyed the brotherhood that he and Robert had. When we came to Miami, we stayed with him during a visit, and he welcomed us with open arms. I won’t ever forget the time that we all shared together—it holds a special place in my heart.

I was really sad for his family and daughter when I found out. He felt like a brother—maybe a distant brother because so much time had passed—but definitely like family. There are some people that you’re just thankful to have known in your life, and he’s one of them. May he rest in peace.

Britton and I go way back. He was a great kid. Always joking and laughing and cutting up with his brothers. I was devastated to learn the news of his tragic passing. Rest easy old friend, I'll probably bump into you again someday.

I randomly met Mr. Orsini and his daughter one day at a restaurant. He mentioned that his daughter was in second grade and would be attending a new school. I proudly shared that I was also a second-grade teacher at that school. Little did I know, among nine homeroom teachers, I would be fortunate enough to have Sophia in my class!

Not only did I gain an incredible student, but I also welcomed an extraordinary "Room Dad" into our classroom. Mr. Orsini quickly became a beloved figure, not just to my homeroom students, but to all the children in the school he encountered. He never missed a learning night, fun run, field trip, or any school event—his dedication was unmatched.

Reading his obituary, I was struck by the words that described him as someone who would give you the shirt off his back. That exemplified him perfectly. He left campus once to grab warm towels for students who weren’t prepared. His commitment to taking students from my class to church highlighted his desire to share the love of Jesus with others, further showcasing his character.

In July, Mr. Orsini, gifted me tickets to see Janet Jackson and Nelly. As we walked around State Farm Arena, he introduced me as "Georgia's Teacher of the Year." While I wasn’t that titleholder, Mr. Orsini truly embodied the spirit of "Georgia's Room Parent and Father of the Year."

Thank you, Mr. Orsini, for bringing joy, excitement, and an abundance of love to our classroom. Your willingness to step in and be a father figure to those students whose fathers were absent will never be forgotten. Your impact on our lives and school community is immeasurable.

To the family, please accept my deepest sympathy. 

I wish you’d allowed me to be there for you. You were a phenomenal father & friend. Zoë & I will forever miss you and your energy. I pray you’re at peace 💔

I cared about you so much! I tried reaching out to you in November and you pushed me away. If I would’ve known I would’ve called more or tried harder to reach you. You will be deeply missed. I admired you as a single father and you were always encouraging at my lowest when I was going through my own child custody battle. I feel a pit in my stomach. 💔

Britton… Rider of Dinosaurs.

I went to Cedu with Britton. I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏

Sophia, we are so sorry you are having to endure this horrible loss of your precious father! We missed you being in the MP Christmas performance and now we understand why! Please know that you are in our 🙏prayers! We pray for your healing and the comfort of the Holy Spirit!

Brit, Sophia, and I became friends after hanging out at the community pool. He laughed when I said he was my Snoop Dogg and I was his Martha Stewart. He and Sophia livened up this old curmudgeon. I will miss my friend dearly.

My condolences to Britton’s family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Britton was a man who truly lived life to the fullest. He was an adventurous soul with a heart of gold, a loving father, and a devoted man who inspired those around him with his courage and zest for life. Always chasing adrenaline and the good times, he reminded us all what it means to embrace every moment. 

You’ll forever be in our hearts and memories. Rest in peace.

Another day at the office.

Britton, you were always sweet and kind, always telling me you love me, crazy and silly,  and all that too. I was always there to listen and take care of you if you need anything. I remember when I first met you I was like this guy is in the wrong place he needs to be modeling. What a handsome guy you were. 

Britton was driving his truck and I was in the passenger seat. I was looking at my phone and said you know what I think I want to buy a slingshot. Britton said OK. Well then let’s buy a slingshot. I looked at him and said well it’s in Florida. He said well we can go to Florida and get it and drive it back. So, we bought a one-way ticket to Tampa, Florida with only a book bag packed. We flew down there and bought the slingshot. Then we proceeded to spend the next three days driving it back to Atlanta with just a book bag packed in July. We went to Miami and saw his sister Valeria , then we went to Orlando Florida to go to Universal, and after that we went to Jacksonville and spent some time with his aunt. Britton was always up for an adventure! This is my most favorite story to tell people. I will never forget what a blast we had and how he never turned down an adventure. He will be missed more than he knows!
