He was my cousin and yes, he will be missed. Jonathan, that must be rough having to witness that. Just imagining that makes me ill. He's the middle child, one older brother and a younger sister. His family is extremely nice and have lost a great member of their clan. He was a caring person and we have a lot of memories together dating back as far as I can remember. It still doesnt seem real that this has happened...He is being laid to rest this weekend and I hope our grandparents see him kindly in to heaven.
