July 2, 2017
This man was and always will be one of the best men I’ve ever known. He was an inspiration to many of us as well as a dear friend. I wish I could describe how loved you are. You’ve done more things for others than I can count out of total selflessness never worrying about the predicaments it could place you in. Always willing to give the shirt of his back I’ve seen this man give his lunch away and go on an empty stomach cause friends didn’t have food at home. He has Talked to individuals and truly changed their lives for the better. We’re all going to miss you dearly A.J. Thank you for being an amazing person, leaving behind so many memories, and most of all being my friend.
