He was a great man, a man always thinking about how to make things better. He loved fixing things, mechanical or electrical. He could do many things working with his mind and hands. He loved people especially his mother, brother and sister. He also cared about his extended family. He always liked to help people. He liked to joke and laugh about different things. He was a great person to be around. He worked so many different jobs. He received his certificate as a CaterPillar operator. He received his computer training certificate. He was my hero, my friend, one I could call for advice or anything relating to life. Gone too soon. I love you brother.

He held my hand when I was five and six years old while crossing the street for school or to a store. He taught me how play basketball and football. I learned how to shoot the basketball when he framed a shirt hanger into a circle and hung the part that hangs in the closet out the door. Using a tennis ball I learned to shoot. He signed me up to join the boys club where I learned many things. He took me to work with him to earn my first paycheck. He taught me what to say when holding a conversation with females. He showed me how to save money. He taught me to be responsible and reliable. He was my counsel/adviser. He loved his family, immediate and extended. He loved his mother dearly and would do and did do everything for his mother. He cared about his friends. He was loved by so many people. He always like to rhyme when he talked. He was old school, no none sense type of personality. We spent a lot of time on the phone discussing the Holy Bible.
