I finally got your new memorial finished. They did a wonderful job with the welding and I think you would love the painting I did on it. If only you were here instead of just a sign by the road. I come by and sit or stand and talk to you. And cry, I always cry so hard here. I’ll never get that image out of my head, seeing you laying in the road, taking your last breaths. It’s just so unfair and infuriating that you are gone and the shooter is running free with no repercussions. I pray everyday that he will get justice for taking your life so needlessly. I miss you so much son 💔 Love, mom
17 months ago, you were taken from those who love you the most. In this picture I’m posting, we sat so casually while your mom took captured this family moment. Little did we know just how precious these would become in just a few years. Now all we have to hold on to and cherish are photos and memories. I can say one thing…..You gave this world, Christin and your family the most beautiful and special little girl💗 Justin, she is so smart, determined, not afraid to let you know what she wants, and a beacon of light surrounding tragedy.. 6 months ago you welcomed Jessie into the gates of heaven. Take care of her cuz❤️ You are missed every minute of everyday❤️ Sending all my love!
Today makes 17 months since you were so viciously taken away from us. Every day, every moment, is a lifetime… But then, it seems like yesterday you were here.
I go over those last moments together over and over in my mind. What you said, what you did. How proud you were, standing there holding your one week old baby. How you were so worried and scared about what kind of dad you would be for her. How you wanted the very best life for her that she could possibly have.
I look at the video of those last moments with you, and wish we had just stayed five more minutes talking, so that we could’ve avoided this whole thing. How just those few more moments would have saved you from being shot down in the street.
I wonder if your killer ever stops to think of what he took away that day. I wonder if he knows the terrible heartache he has caused your family. I wonder if it bothers him that your sweet little girl, so innocent and fragile, will now have to grow up without a father.
It’s very cold and snowing here today, and your nephews would have loved for you to be here skiing with them. Michael has told me several times how he wished y’all had went fishing while you were still here. And Jayden told me she misses you calling her “Duck-Duck”.
I know your two sisters and grandparents miss you terribly. But sometimes, the hole in my heart is so big, it feels like I will fall in and be gone forever. And sometimes I wish I could 💔
I love you still so much ❤️🩹
I’ve added a picture of your baby. She’s growing up so quickly. She’s so beautiful and smart. You would be so proud of her!
We came to see you today. I know you were there to welcome your cousin, Jesse home. We have lost you both in less than a year 😔
We miss you both terribly, but know that you are both so much better off now.
I’m heading home now to see your sweet baby girl and pour all my love onto her.
She will be 1 years old in 3 weeks! You would be so proud of her. She’s just beautiful and so full of life and spunk.
I love you and miss you terribly 🥰
For your first heavenly birthday we came to see you and put up your monument. 💔. I think you would like how it turned out.
We brought your daughter down with us and she started talking to you when we got here. You would have loved being a daddy. She is so much like you. Sometimes when I’m holding her, it’s like you are in my arms again. I miss you😘
