November 19, 1999, "JR", as he was known to his family and friends, was tragically killed in a car accident. He was the best man at my wedding, he was kind, funny, and great with children. Unfortunately, I only got to know him for two days because we lived in seperate states, but I cherish those two days we spent as friends and family. I decided to dedicate this page to him because even though I only knew him for a couple of days, I feel he was a part of my life and I will miss him very much.
I did not get to know "JR" for long but in the time I did get to talk with him and learn about him, I learned a few things. According to his family he was very kind and generous, always alot of fun. He loved playing jokes on people. He also loved the song "Spirit in the Sky" by the Kentucky Headhunters, so much in fact, that it was played at his funeral so everyone could be closer to him in that tragic time. It has been a while since I have updated this page and the reason is I was unable to handle the emotions from it. Now it has been a while and some things will be being added to this page soon. Including some information about a woman who treated him like her own son even though he was her nephew. You will learn more about her soon as she is now with "JR" as of March 15, 2004.
