I appreciate everyone who has reached out, and thank you to everyone who has shared a story about a time his kindness touched your heart. That’s who he was. A man who lived loudly and loved louder. He constantly talked about believing in your ability, so that’s what I hope he leaves behind – that all of you who loved him and watched him realize you have all the tools you need to be all the things you dream to be.”
