Chakra's first car was a 2007 Toyota Yaris bought from his older brother — with Jahnu Best

Visiting Chakra at his job at the Mauna Kea Visitors Center — with Jahnu Best

Chakra came into my room while I was on the computer and said that we should start watching a show called Daredevil. I laughed and jokingly told him that we still needed to finish the other show we'd been watching, called House of the Dragon. It was a nice moment, and the last time I talked to him.

May 24, 2018. Chakra visited Michigan for my wedding in 2018. Much of our family was also there and I was glad to see him. He had sold most of his Magic: the Gathering card collection to be able to afford the trip for him and his then-girlfriend all the way from Hawai'i.

December 30, 2022. Chakra had bought a new motorcycle suit and wanted to show it off. I took this "cursed" image. Sadly, he would not get much time to use it.

August 14, 2021, 8:04 PM. Us three older brothers decided to go to a Mariners' baseball game in downtown Seattle. Chakra had just moved to Seattle and none of us had ever been to a large sports game. The Mariners ended up getting two home runs and we had a great time.

Chakra and I traveled together to a weightlifting meet from September 9-10, 2022 in Vancouver, WA, close to the border of Portland in Oregon. I drove one way and he drove back. We listened to some of his and my favorite music and just chatted. At his weightlifting meet, there were many strong individuals, and Chakra proved himself to be the strongest there for his weight class. I was there to help him record his lifts and at some point in the future I will try to link those videos. We had breakfast the day of the meet at a Taco Bell, and had to keep going through the drive-thru to fix things the workers had messed up. We stopped by Voodoo Donuts in Portland the day before, and he said the donuts were too sweet. We ended up taking a nap by Lloyd Center Mall in the car because we had driven early in the day to make it for the weigh-in. I'll forever remember this memory with my brother and while I am sad I can't make any more memories, I'll be grateful I got this one.
