There are not enough words to describe my brother's authentic heart, soul, spirit. The man he was and the impact he made on so many of our lives. We are all blessed to have had the opportunity to experience his energy. He will live on in our hearts forever. His wishes were to be cremated and no burial services. We will have a Celebration of Life at a future time. The family has NOT asked for any donations. Thank you for the Love, prayers and comfort.
