My brother, your smile your laugh will stay with me until I see you again. You will be missed by so many people.

I will never forget you my friend. You always had a smile on your never aging face! Since 4th grade, hating your glasses and hiding them all the way on the back of your desk to the last day I saw you! God wanted you by his side for some reason. May your family find peace knowing you will be watching over them all. Rest in peace my friend! I will always keep you in my heart!

You will be deeply missed, such a big part of our lives. You were an amazing friend, always there no matter what! Miss you my friend 🤍🕊️✝️

Such sad news to hear the passing of an old friend. Ralph was a stand up guy. A good heart. Honest and pragmatic.  Ralph was always a guy of principle. He was justice and very honorable in that since. Needless to say Ralph had attributes that are a rare commodity these days. May you rest easy my bro. May Allah accept your good deeds and give your family strength & comfort. 

Love & Respects:  Victor Calonje

Sorry to hear this news after all you went through! I literally saw you last week. I hope you rest in peace! You have a lot of love ❤️ and a lot of people care for you so rest easy my friend! ❤️

This picture was taken this pass Saturday. Until I see u again my bro

I only knew him through mutual friends. He was a great guy never bothered anyone, But always had everyone’s back. I saw him
Many weekends at my job hanging out having a good time amongst his friends, But when I heard about what happened I was totally shocked. Because he was there at my job that Saturday/sunday morning. My deepest sincerest condolences to his family and friends he was a great soul.

I will never forget this beautiful smile. When a friendship dies, we feel cheated in life. Because life isn’t fair, I’ve resolved to win the game for us both.

Fafo, You will always be in our hearts as we remember the time we spent together.  May you rest in peace!
Sincerely, 
Ketty and Patrick

rest in peace my brother. see you one day down the road. rest at peace
