He had just met a huge milestone in his life when he graduated from Permian High School on May 25, 2018. He was known as our miracle from god. We were blessed to have for 19 wonderful years.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
“Those we love don’t go away
They work beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved and missed and very dear.”
