The following poem was dedicated to his memory.
“Missing You Always”
You never said I’m leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still.
In my heart I hold a place
That only you can fill.
It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn’t go alone.
A part of me went with you
The day God took you home.
