Maggie Runsabove says
My son this is so heartbreaking, my life is not the same anymore without you….I feel myself falling apart. My first child I love you n miss you so much…I miss hearing you say ‘ I love you momma you made me so happy …I plead for your impossible return but that’s normal for a mother to say ….
Chandra says
“Walks”, you clearly didn’t know him because he was anything but that. You can’t even use your real name, shows how weak you are. The amount disrespect on here is sickening. I wasn’t even going to say anything but “walks”, you really went right right behind his mother with that. Like what is wrong with you? He has a lot of family and kids that may see this. This is a memorial wall – not a place for jealousy and disrespect. He’s not here to defend himself but if he was, some of you would be embarrassed to have said what you did and he would make that very clear. All looking like fools. Let him rest, he’s not bothering you or anyone else and I guarantee he never did. “Walks”, you probably lost to him in a fight or you are mad he has females fighting over him and you don’t but that’s all your burden to carry. Don’t make it everyone else’s.
Lester, we miss you heavily. Thank you for always loving and protecting your family and those close to you. No one can ever replace you and that’s a fact. Everything else between us has been said and I’m so grateful for that. Thank you, for everything. Rest so peacefully in eternal bliss.

ARYN MONTOYA says
Brother. Words can’t begin to even explain how much I miss you. I miss you every single day…. I wake up in the morning & I can feel that you’re gone, I feel this emptiness in my heart now from losing you. I’m trying so hard to be strong but every single day that I wake up I have to remember that someone stole you from us & my heart shatters into a million pieces all over again. I wanted to give up so bad but you always told me that suicide is the cowards way out… I’ll continue to watch over our brothers and sisters & I promise to do my best to keep mom safe. ❤️ Ever since you were taken from us, there’s been so many that have so much love & respect for you that they’ve did what they needed to do to keep us safe out of respect for you. I’ve acquired new brothers but they all say the same thing to me…. They can never compare to you or even come close. I don’t know what to do without you anymore, I told you that when we were closing your casket to lay you to rest. 😭 That was the worst day of my life. I think about you all day long, whenever I watch a certain movie or hear one of your songs. You were my best friend, we argued and everything but you always kept me safe. At whatever cost. You showed me about true loyalty, love & respect. Whenever I dream about you I get to hear you laugh, the sound of your voice & how you did your voice impressions, the crazy things that you’d say. 💙 I’ll forever love you & I’ll never forget you.
“You never said “I’m leaving ”
“You never said “Goodbye”
“You were gone before we knew it & only God knows why.”
“In life, I loved you dearly.”
“In death, I’ll love you still ”
“In my heart you left a space that only you can fill ”
“It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone….”
“A part of me went with you on the day God took you home.” 💙
