Harrison's obituary

It is with great sorrow and sadness that we are mourning the passing of Harrison Steven Hicks, 25, due to complications from JT1D.

To say Harrison was special is not enough. Harrison was sweet, kind, honourable. To say he loved is not enough. Harrison loved the people he loved.. Wholehearted, unconditionally, deeply. He made everyone of us family, and cherished us. To say that Harrison was adventurous, is not enough. Most of us experienced his "Magyver" alter ego, who invented Alley Way Stuff and always came back with treasures. To say he was charming, is not enough. His smile was contagious and shined through his eyes. His quick wit and thoughtful words could change a mood from sad to better in the blink of an eye.. Allegedly. To say that Harrison was committed, is not enough. His passion and dedication to  things he valued and the people that mattered to him fueled his desire to help others improve their circumstances and live happier.

To say that we will miss him.. Is not enough.

The pain and ache left behind where Harrison had been, while it  will never go away, shall dull and be a reminder of a friend that has left us to soon. As we continue to journey through life, we need to take each step in vigilance and know that we are not walking alone, that Harrison is by our side, along for the ride. With each life changing event, he is right there, listening, loving and supporting us as our world continues to change.

Harrison would not want us to mourn.. Because there is no reason for it. He is still with us, by our side, laughing with us, comforting us, helping us along.

So smile when you think of him, his body's gone, that's all.

I, personally, will make my steps with Harrison in mind, and reminding myself when I am lonely, that I am not alone, that my son from another mother, is beside me,  and I will feel and hear his reassurance in my heart.

I love you always Harrison
