My Brother- you were my constant, my confident, and my friend. You had a way of making life feel lighter, even in the hardest moments. Losing you feels impossible to understand, but I’ll hold to every laugh, every moment, in the stories we tell, and in the way you shaped my heart. I love you, and I always will. A son, brother, grandson, uncle and more forever in our hearts. The sweetest, most humble angel. Never forgotten.
My brother, you were always there,
With your laughter and your kindness.
Though taken from this world too soon,
You left it full of happy memories.
I’ll treasure all the times we had,
The things we did, the things you said.
I carry you with me in my heart,
I can’t believe that we must part.
In life we loved you dearly, and
In death we do the same, my brother
And as we say our last goodbye,
Rest in peace, until we meet again.
