Oh, Bubba. Whether if someone had told me the day it happened or yesterday- my heart would still feel the same as it does finding out today. I was JUST talking to someone about our adventures. You were my first big brother outside of family. Checking on all the boys I wanted to date and making sure I was happy. Always telling me the truth and sometimes making me cry when I didn’t want to hear it but NEEDED to. And most of all, telling me to put on a rain coat and pulling me into the pouring rain to puddle jump and lay in puddles. (All during our adult years 😂) Nothing in those moments mattered. Thank you for being my friend, thank you for being you. Thank you for being one of the reasons my time in VA beach was so memorable. Your stories will live on as I tell them often. You will live on on them. Give Harambe that but old hug every day like you’ve always wanted. I love you, big bro. I’ll miss you making me laugh. I love you so much. Save me a seat in Gangsta’s Paradise, baby ♥️

I first met Bubba in middle school at IMS. I remember running track with him for a bit. I was a little shy in middle school, and I remember him and I would have some good conversations while running. He helped me come out of my shell. I still remember his bleached hair during that time as that was the baseball thing to do.
In high school I think we had an English class together (Mr Fanny senior year I believe). I didn't know Bubba like a good friend, but even without knowing him that intimately, I knew he was a good person, and he was headstrong in what he believed. It is heartbreaking to hear of this news. I hope his family has the strength to make it through, and I know they will if they bond together. I'm hopeful that things will get better, but it will take time. I've always admired Bubba for being outspoken on some things I strongly agree with him on, and I hope we can all carry on his memory taking away all the positives he has had to offer in life.

Bubba was my only living grandson-- he and I had many "long, into the night" conversations about life and how it effects and affects each of us,
We didn't always see eye to eye nor did we always understand the others reasonings, but we honored the others rights to those differences. He had an insatiable curiosity and a constant "finger over Google" which ended in many belly laughs.-- he loved animals with no exception-- could not stand mistreatment nor injustice to them. His daughters were his world, their presence forever on his mind. I'm going to miss him greatly, just knowing that he is not present to give the love and comfort that he did. My love goes out to those closest to him. Your loss is immeasurable and inconsolable. I pray that you will be able to accept God's greater plan.

I remember Bubba being at the front of every crowd we played for. And sometimes, when no one showed up to see us play, Bubba would be there standing alone to hear us play the same 8 or 9 songs he heard is play a thousand times. So supportive. An amazing human being.

Dobby you're a free elf now! I'm going to miss you at the fire pits singing and just not giving a care in the world. Not to mention your funny jokes inbetween sets at a show in the parking lot.
