To be absent from the body is to be present  with the Lord. Pawpaw will be missed by myself and my colleagues. It was such. It was truly a pleasure caring for him and his final months of here on earth. I was one of the ones that he always cooperated with. I was his red girl. The memories will never be forgotten. I’m glad I took videos and plenty of pictures of him. Lastly, it was a pleasure meeting the family. Those that I did get to meet in person. It is my prayer that you guys will continue to  be a great  legacy  of him.. he loved in his very own way and the best way he knew how if he loves you he loves you if he didn’t he didn’t don’t charge it to his heart if he didn’t he was just a honorary man who has zero tolerance for nonsense he would always tell me when leaving for work from work the morning of he would say I love you and God bless. He always said that to me so I know that he knew the Lord and that he is definitely in his arms, Michael. I salute you on the way you used to be beside your father and his final days no matter what or how I saw the love in the hurting your eyes every time used to be beside him just know that he’s in a better place and he did love you much  Divina

Hi,
I wanted to share my deepest condolences to your family. I had the honor of caring for Papa for a few months, and he meant so much to all of us. He could be sweet one minute and fussing at us the next, but that was his love language, and we understood it. He made us laugh, he made us think, and he always let us know exactly what was on his mind.
We may have met him at work, but it didn’t stay “just work” — he became family. I’m grateful I got to know him, and I’m even more grateful I got to meet his son and grandson through him. He talked about y’all all the time.
We loved him, truly. We’ll miss him, but we’ll remember him with warmth, humor, and a smile.
Sending love, comfort, and peace to you and your family. - Yvonne Tutt

Hello Doodle,
You  are  gone but not forgotten  God and the angles are  wa/ching over  you

Barbara McCoy Young

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Grandpa,
 
It’s us — Ja’Vontae (JV) and Mar’Quae (Poppa).
 
We miss you so much. We miss your smile, your hugs, and the way you always made everything feel better just by being around.
 
We’ll never forget riding on the tractor with you — the way the engine rumbled, the wind blowing past us, and you sitting there smiling like you owned the whole world. With you, everything felt steady and safe.
 
We remember feeding the horses with you, how you taught us to be gentle and patient, and how the horses listened to you like they understood every word. You showed us how to love animals, how to care for them, and how to respect nature.
 
And the conversations… Grandpa, those meant everything to us. You didn’t just talk at us, you talked with us. You listened. You laughed with us. You taught us things we didn’t even know were lessons at the time — about life, family, work, and love.
 
We miss all of that.
But we also feel you — in the quiet moments, in the sound of a tractor passing by, in the soft breath of a horse, in the way the world feels when we think of you.
 
Today is your birthday, and even though you’re not here in person, we celebrate you. We celebrate the man you were, the love you gave, and the memories you left with us.
 
We love you forever.
This isn’t goodbye — it’s see you later.
 
Love always,
JV & Poppa

Happy Heavenly Birthday Daddy,  

Today the world feels softer, as if heaven has leaned down to let us feel you close again.

 We imagine you riding in God’s open fields, where the light is warm, the air is gentle, and the angels walk beside you like old friends who know your soul.  

We can almost see you in the saddle strong, steady, and free your spirit moving with the calm rhythm of a horse the way it always did on earth. 

But now, God holds the reins, guiding you along trails that never end, where peace is deep and joy runs wide.  Daddy, your four kids and grand kids (Eddie “Scooter” Michael “Mike” LaShanda “Monique” and Samuel “Sam”) miss you more than words can carry.
 
Each of us holds a piece of you your strength, your humor, your stubborn courage, your quiet way of loving without needing many words.  

You and mama shaped us, steadied us, and still, in your absence, you guide us like a familiar voice whispering from somewhere just beyond the veil.  

Though you now ride among the angels, your love gallops through all four of our hearts a powerful, gentle legacy we will carry for the rest of our lives. So today, we honor you.  Your life, your spirit, your faith. 

May God keep you close, may the angels celebrate you, and may the horses of heaven carry you with the freedom you always deserved.  

Happy birthday, Daddy  we love you, we miss you, and we’ll meet you again where the trails never fade.  

Love Forever, 

Monique (that’s what you called me)
(Your ONE and only Daughter)

Today, I want to take a moment  to honor and thank my Father-in-law. From the bottom of my heart, I  am so grateful to him  for raising such an incredible man-my husband. The values,kindness, and strength that my husband shows every day are a reflection of the love guidance and example his father gave him.Because of my Father-in-law, I have a partner who is loving,patient,hardworking, and full of integrity, I see the lessons of family, respect, and I feel blessed every day to share my life with someone shaped by such a remarkable  man. Thank you Dad, for giving me the greatest gift- the man I get to call my husband. You influenced  lives on though him, grandchildren, great grandson, I will forever be thankful for the family and love you've helped create.

To my Dear Father-in-law,
You lived your life with the same grace and strength as the horses you loved. Your heart found peace in open fields, your spirit ran free beneath wide skies. Though you've ridden beyond our sight, we know you're beyond our sight, we know you're galloping though endless meadows now- forever free, forever loved 
Guadalupe McCoy
