Rest easy brother. I sure had some fun times with you. So many fun times! You’ll never be forgotten in this ugly world and I know you’ll protect me. Tell my mom I love her, and that I miss you both. You’d be proud of Kasey. She’s fighting so hard for you and us. I know you’re enjoying that barbed wire halo and them Texas sized wings of gold. Miss you bro
