Dad, thank you for everything you have ever done for me…all of the countless trips to my house whenever I needed you to help me with a new project or to fix something for me. You were always there whenever we needed you. I could always count on you to make me laugh (even when I didn't want to lol) when I was pissed off. We will continue to keep your memory alive as we share stories about you. The world will never be the same without you in it.

Until we meet again! Love you and miss you so much! xoxo


I don’t even know what I’m going to do without you Dad. I am who I am because of you (and mom). You should be proud of the time you had because you definitely left a footprint on the world and have touched many peoples lives. This still feels like a bad dream. All I can keep thinking about as I’m writing this, is a quote that many of us have heard you say many of times. This is 
“UNFUCKIN BELIEVABLE!!”
Until we meet again dad I love you more than words can say and we are all going to miss you  


Dad, I don't know how to carry on without you in our lives...but I do know one thing, you're the most amazing man I have ever known! I love you forever, catch you on the other side dad     
P.S. We've got mom, she's in good hands
