I'm a few years late buddy, but I've been back in NC battling my demons for the last 7 years. I just found out that you passed. I don't know about your personal life, but I remember you as a hard worker and jack of all trades at work. Probably the most popular person on the night shift actually with your personality and work ethic. RIP my friend!

My prayer is for all the families impacted by my nephews death. Loved ones, God is too wise to make a mistake. He entrusted Skylar to us for 33 years to do the work he was to do. He did it. His work is done. We will draw strength from one another, pray for and love one another and keep our arms of love and protection around his children, Jackie, his mother, sisters and their families. God is still in control.
