You’re not just an uncle to me, you also had a big part in my upbringing. All my childhood memories are with my dad and you.
You always had the right words to say when dad passed away, you always went out of your way to tell me how much he loved me and how proud he would be, and you stepped up and loved me like he did. I have so much love for you , and I’m so heartbroken that you are now gone.
Heaven is so lucky , I will forever love you, I will forever celebrate you!!
I miss you so much already!!
I wasn’t ready to say goodbye but I knew it was time. R.I.P my amazing , sweet, fun loving uncle !!!!!
