I dont even know where to begin, you were with me since the begining. The long days and nights at Parris Island, The raining days at Camp Geiger. No matter how bad it got you always had a positive attitude and always had a smile. Even through those 7 months in Iraq you were the one always making jokes and keeping morale up. It kills me that God had to take you from us. YOu were a great marine and an even better friend. I pray for your family everyday. I wish you could be with us on our next tour to afganistan but i know youll be watching over us. You are missed greatly and it will never be the same without you. I love you man, i know your in a better place now. One day ill be able to see you again, but until then keep making those angels laugh and smile like i know you are. Semper Fidelis.
