A life was cut short. I never really met the guy, but the impact that he had on everyone’s lives was extremely inspirational. He influenced many lives. Although it was a few years ago still I remember as though it was yesterday. Coming home from school during the fall of my eighth grade year. It was about a few weeks after football, so I would just come home from the bus. I walk in the house and my mom told me someone in my family has died. She I remembered exactly who he was. I remember going up to his mother’s cottage on the lake, my aunt. He would then take the kids out tubing and everyone would be smiling having a good time.
The day of the funeral was horrific. He would go to the house he lived in, everyone was very quiet, kids running around playing with their toys. Krispy crème doughnuts lay wide open for everyone to have. After everyone was done we would walk outside where they have limos waiting for everyone in the family. Now this funeral was different than any other funeral. He was not just some average guy; he was a firefighter, who loved serving his city. They had a viewing for everyone to attend; people came pouring in from all walks of life.
After the viewing we piled back in the limo
