Dad, you always were the best father three young boys could’ve asked for. Your cared and loved us even though you didn’t have to. I am absolutely the man I am today because of what you not only taught us but you always led by example. It’s hard th fathom that you are actually gone and it’s hurts. Dad you will never be forgotten and you will truly be missed by so many because of great father, grandfather and friend you always have been to so many. I love you dad and will be forever grateful for you and miss you. Tim

The Light of a Boyish SmileThere are moments in childhood that capture the entire essence of a person's spirit—moments frozen in time, filled with pure, unfiltered joy. For our family, that moment belongs to a sun-drenched summer afternoon in Arizona, when Kenny and his sister, Kelly, were visiting their father.Kenny was just seven years old, a sweet little boy with a heart full of wonder. As his cousin, seven years his senior, I watched him look up at me from the edge of the pool, asking to be carried to the other end. He climbed onto my back, resting his small hands on my shoulders as I carried him across the water. The moment we reached the side, Kenny’s face lit up with a brilliant, infectious grin. He immediately begged to turn around and do it again.What was meant to be a simple trip across the pool turned into an hour of endless laughter, piggyback rides, and a memory that would outlast the summer heat. Kenny loved it so much, and in his joy, he brought a radiant light to everyone around him.Kenny eventually grew up, as we all must, but he never truly lost that beautiful, boyish face. More importantly, he never lost the gentle, loving soul behind it. Kelly and Kenny will always be a precious part of my heart. Though he has left us too soon, the warmth of his laughter and the sweetness of his smile remain etched in my soul forever. Rest in peace, dear Kenny.
