From an email:

This is my beloved cousin whom was an amazing person he stuggled through life at times as all do but he'd finally started his life getting every thing together and the lord needed him for bigger and better things that we not yet know. He is missed by many and loved by all. May god bless his soul for he far deserves it. He was to young to leave, he was only 18 years old, it was such a hard in everyones life a son, brother, grandson,nephew, cousin, boyfriend, and a friend was to laid to rest way to young. How his death occured isn't as important as his life he left behind. I love you and miss you cousin. I know your looking down on all of us.

" if feels like just yesterday I heard them say that he's gone to a place far far away"
