Always quiet, always unassuming, and always with that infectious smile. That's how I remember him. Sincerest condolences to all those who loved him dearly.

<3 I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!  You know... ?  He was so worried about his suit for this wedding.  It was actually really cute.  He looked at me with the saddest eyes and said "I didn't realize the wedding was so soon.  I have nothing to wear.  Maybe I shouldn't go...." and I told him that he didn't have to worry about it at all and told him he should've let me know when his clothes were too big.  You see, he decided to put himself on a diet and started eating a lot more salads... and it caused him to lose weight!  He dropped as low as 155Lbs!  He said he felt younger and more alive.... but his clothes didn't fit.  I of COURSE brought him suit shopping.  Taking him to try on the clothes? He was like "... I've never had a suit of THAT colour before..."... the whole store kept complimenting him... and sure enough, he agreed to the suit choice.  When it was time for the wedding?  He was SO excited to show it off!!  He wanted to look nice for it :) It was soooo cute to watch him get all excited <3 And he had nothing but amazing things said about it!!!   He talked about it for weeks about how happy he was to have been able to make it & about how great the wedding was.  "I'm so happy for them!  It was such a beautiful wedding." <3

He was a gentle, faithful man whose presence brought warmth, kindness, and strength to our church family. His absence will be deeply felt, but his legacy of love, humility, and service will remain with us forever.
