He inspired others. He built trust through partnerships. He was a good teacher but an even better student. He thought like an entrepreneur, always resourceful. He constantly challenged himself. He lived larger than life striving for professionalism. He loved the Lord above all and now he is in His presence. My brother's legacy will live on forever in our hearts.
