I got the worst news anyone could get.. my Friend, Mentor, Brother, Role Model passed away this morning. he was in a motorcycle accident and was pronounced dead at 0930.  He left a his wife and his little 9 year old girl without the Pillar who held everything together. This guy was just more than a Man. He is the epitome of what a Marine should be, What a SNCO should be and what a person with good morals should be. It's so sad to have to go on in his shadow knowing that only 35 hours ago you spoke about plans for the weekend. This man was THE DRUM MAJOR for the Marines. He has affected so many lives and taught so many others to fill in his shoes including myself but none of us will even compare to the magnitude of his knowledge and his compassion for others. It's just sad to see such great people leave in an instant. Things like this always are unexpected and always get the best of you. This man was more like Father figure to me. The only person that I have admired, the only Person that I have ever looked up to. I wish with all my heart to be even a third of the Man and Marine he was. He would have been 38 this September. He was making such an impact with this unit. he sat me down and told me tat I was doing great things. I took it for what it was worth but i still hold him up on a pedestal. and now that he is gone. I just can't help but feel like I lost a very big part of me. if it wasn't for him, I would have never learned to be more patient with people, I would have been out of the Marine Corps. I would have never been in my current job and I would have never met my lovely Wife. My entire Career literally revolved around him. I tried my best to emulate and follow his teachings and become as good as he as I could.
Now I'm here alone without that Pillar to help me with my Career. He was the only reason I ever reenlisted and the reason I am pursuing my current career path. Almost like a father. and now he's gone.
I really don't want to add a somber feeling to TFS but i just had to let this out of my chest.
For those of you who even bother to read this and just so happen to be religious. I guess I ask for a prayer. I'm not religious and have no other way to grieve other than to talk about it or write about it.Rest In Peace Brother

The loss of an important figure in ones life is something with which I am only too familiar. Two years ago, I lost my young son, also a victim of a motorcycle accident. The grieving will never end, but the pain will subside, slowly, and you will want to remember -- even cherish -- moments that you had shared.
I shall remember you in my prayers today, also. |

This is a very difficult time and it's still sinking in and I'm still struggling with the fact that he no longer is here with us. |

No shoulders broad enough
No heart big enough
No one could take his place
No photo albums or memories could fill that empty space
But in your heart you will discover gifts he left behind
his courage, honor strength and love
will bring you peace of mind |
