And if that wasn’t amazing enough, you were the absolute best papa to my babies. You fought tooth and nail for them. Helped to give them all the father figure they so desperately needed. You went to every single event they had, even after working 10 and 12 hour shifts. You took Bria to a whole season of soccer practice, games, and tournaments because I was too sick to. You rocked Dalton to sleep in your lap every single night listening to music when he was a sick little man. Records Bria singing Barney and took her to get her picture made with him. Jon was your shadow from day 1. You protected him and became they dad he was never able to have. He seen every Marvel and Avenger movie out there because of you. He knew every line to every movie because that’s y’alls thing. You made sure he had all the costumes to go along with those movies too. Ashlyn inherited you love for music and guitar. You bought her very first guitar, and was teaching her to play. You sat outside on my patio just a couple months back, listening to her play and sing you a song. You had the biggest grin on your handsome face. You encouraged her to keep singing, and now that’s all she does. You took the best baby pictures of her at the river that day. You and mom came and got her and took her to lunch and the park. You rocked her to sleep singing sometimes. I will never forget how amazing you are to my kids. They will never forget and want to make you proud. I’m going to make sure of it.
I don’t know how we are going to get through the next days without you. The sun lost a little brightness when you left this world. But we will be strong, and stick together, and love each other and everyone else they way you did. With an open heart, full of compassion. You don’t have to worry about momma, I’ve got her now. She will be just as loved and protected as she was with you.
I love you poppa. With everything in me. I lost a piece of my heart when you left us. Until we meet again… I love you
Your daughter

Where do I start. I guess it’s hard to believe what happened. Every day I will wake up wishing it was a bad dream. The only reason I ever liked superheros and construction stuff is because of you. I remember every weekend I would ask every time if I could come over. I had to be at your house over 200 times. I was over there more than anyone because you were the closest family member I have ever had. You always found a way to make a bad situation better. You always made a bad day good. You always made a sad little boy happy. Who needs to stay the night at friends when you have Pappa. I just want to thank you for being the father I never got to have. The friend that would always be better than the rest. The best Pappa in the entire world.
Sorry to hear you are not with us anymore….but you are in a better place where there is no pain, or sorrow or tears…may your family be held in the arms of our Saviour and be given strength and peace…you will be missed…
My condolences to the family.
I have no words for this loss. But I have a thousand wonderful memories.
Hey chee-chee bo!
