His sense of humor was well known to friends and family, never too shy to share a good joke or two, it came so naturally. He was known by several family members as Mr. President, as he once stated, I will be president someday! Teachers and fellow classmates and close friends remember how he lit up a classroom with his presence and beautiful smile. You'll be greatly missed sweet Angel. Son, thank you for all the memories you have given us. We will miss everything about you Son. But we find comfort in knowing one day we will be together again in a much better place. We will miss your sweet music, for those who did not know him. It has been a great loss to us all. Dear God, thank you for giving us fourteen wonderful years with him. May he live forever in your Kingdom and prepare a place for us. Son, you will live in our memories forever. We Love You Son Additional Comments: Volunteer submission - No relation to deceased.
