My son, my hero and a great Tiger fan ....
I can remember several years ago when my son was a marine I posted a few times and gave updates on his deployments and trips home. I received so much support from this board at that time. Tragically, this past Friday, he left this world all too soon. While we live just outside of STL, in St. Peters Mo. He was such a Tiger fan( and of course a Cardinal baseball fan)that his wife has made the request for those attending his visitation to wear either a Tiger or cardinal jersey. He loved the Tigers and the city of Memphis and always considered it home.

God Bless you and your family. Your son had an amazing life and it sounds like he truly loved life, his students, his athletes, his family and friends. He touched a lot of people and changed a lot of peoples lives because he truly cared. He will continue to change lives, and those he helped will continue to help others.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. From your posts and the news reports, it is obvious that you raised a very,very special young man.

May God grant you and all his family and loved ones His perfect peace and may all the wonderful memories of your son stay sharp and clear in your memory until you meet again.

Prayers for you all. A special thanks for your son's service on this Memorial Day weekend.
