Gone too soon, we lived in the same stairwell in Schweinfurt, Germany, we cooked side by side on our own grills every Sunday. The last time I saw Venus was when he took over his battalion as CSM here at Ft. Hood. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

Prayers for the family for peace and strength. May the memories of the cousin birthday parties, going to St. Kevin's, the fire hydrate slide, and growing up on Monadnock street bring comfort and a smile.

We started our military careers as room mates. The moments we shared both at work and in our free time were amazing. You were one of the most amazing people I have ever been around. The lives you touched with your selfless service will never be the same. Till Valhalla brother 1/41 Straight and Stalwart!
