Today, we gather to honor and celebrate the life of my beautiful son, a young man whose heart, kindness, and spirit touched more lives than he ever realized. At just 26 years old, he left an imprint on this world that many people don't accomplish in a lifetime. My son loved many things, but if you knew him, you knew how much joy he found in playing poker. It wasn't just a game to him -he loved the strategy, the laughs, the friendships, and the way a table full of people could become a family for a night. His competitive spirit was matched only by his gentle soul. He had a special gift with animals and children. Kids adored him, maybe because, in many ways, he held onto a pure, youthful kindness that made them feel safe and seen. When he worked as a security guard, he didn't just show up to do a job. He showed up to make people smile. Every child who walked past him would leave with one of his stickers, a small gesture that meant the world to him and brightened the day of countless families. He loved that part of his work those tiny, genuine connections. My son had such a big heart. Truly, he was one of the kindest souls I have ever known. He was my very best friend. He had the cutest dimples in the world-dimples that could turn any moment into something lighter, something better. When he smiled, the whole room felt it. He took care of himself-he worked out, ate healthy, and never once abused his body. He lived with discipline, pride, and respect for himself and even in his passing, his generosity did not end because he was so healthy, his organs saved seven lives. Seven families have hope today because of him. Seven people get to hug their loved ones again. Even in death, he was giving. There are no words big enough to capture who he was or how deeply he is loved. There is no way to measure the emptiness left behind. But there is also no way to measure the beauty he brought into this world, the laughter, the warmth, the kindness, the integrity, the love. My son lived with a huge heart, a bright smile, and a spirit that will never fade. I will carry him with me forever, and I know everyone who knew him will do the same. my very best friend, the person I talked to every day, the person laughed with, the person lived for. He was my purpose. He is my purpose still. It is impossible for me to say goodbye. My heart is shattered beyond site words. Losing him has crushed me in ways I cannot explain. And it breaks me to say that when his heart was hurting the pain felt so heavy to him that he could not carry it. His passing came from a place of heartbreak, not because he lacked strength, but because he loved so deeply. His love was pure, and his heart was tender but his story-his real story-is not defined by the way he left this world. It is defined by the way he lived: with kindness, discipline, humor, generosity, and love. It is defined by the smiles he created, the children he made feel special, the animals he adored, the people he protected, and the seven lives he saved. I will carry him with me for the rest of my life. I will honor him in every breath, every step, every memory. He will forever be my son, my beautiful boy, my heart, my reason. Thank you, my son, for every moment, every smile, every lesson, and every bit of love you gave. You will always be my baby, my pride, and my very best friend.
