He was the best friend I ever had. He was so caring and true to me. We always enjoyed playing dodge ball. Whenever I'd be upset, he would always make his voice sound like Pe-Wee Herman. When I found out he passed, I didn't believe it at first. But once I realized my best friend passed, I was in tears - and I still am in tears everytime the month and day comes up. I love him and miss him so much my heart goes out to his family.
