Our thoughts prayers go out to all the family. This is one cousin we never had the good fortune to meet, but looking at his picture shows just part of the goodness that made up this young man and knowing the rest of his close family confirms what a grave loss his passing is, not only to the family but also for the future of our community and tribe.
