I can't even begin to say or express what you are and what you were to me. you were the most funny, sweet man and boy I have ever met. Your "I don't give a crap what anyone thinks" attitude, " I'll kick their butt"...LOL!!! I think the same way. You and I were very close, I'm not sure its cause we are 13 months apart or that we have the same kinda soul....all i really know is you always made me crack up even in the toughest times... You'd say "Dane don't put up with no crap" or "Dane you can do whatever you want"...I remember our last conversation and it breaks my heart. "Dane are we going camping this year, i really want to" and i said ....I'm not sure...."well let me know" you said...Boss there is a huge void without you. I feel like i've lost half my soul. I will try to be strong like you would want but its hard and words are tough right now. all i know forsure is i will forever miss my big baby brother. FOREVER! You are deeply missed and mourned. I love you more then words

Love you so much...forever

Boss,

You always made everbody smile when you were around!! The kids couldn't wait to see Uncle Boss!!! Neither could the adults....LOL. We always had the greatest talks, about sports , cooking and life in general. I remember talking about all of us kids opening a restaraunt or food truck one day. Damn, we shoulda done it!!! It probably woulda rocked!!! I remember you when you were a little boy looking up in the sky at the clouds, which you called clowns, btw. It was the cutest thing.  We had bittersweet childhood, but it was so much better when we were all together! As an man,you became such a handsome, funny guy with charisma oozing from your every pore. Basketball was your fav, and if I'm not mistaking, I taught you how to shoot when your were younger.... You and I went to the 311/Matisyahu concert a couple years ago and had a BLAST!!! When I was single and we would go out,everyone always thought you were my boyfriend, so much for anyone hitting on us!!!   We always had a good time together. All of us kids. I'll cherish these memories forever,Bro. Now you are with Mom and it was her turn to take care of you again. You are forever with me in my heart and I love you!!!! Be watching over all of from the clouds (clowns) and know how much we miss you!!!!! I'll be strong for you......

Your big sis,

You always enlightened me on sports talk, always one up on me!!!! Damn, gonna miss that...but, I understand.

Boss,
     I remember bragging about my big brother to my friends when I was little because I thought you were the coolest person. You were always such a goofball and so much fun to be around.  It is no wonder I admired you so greatly. I will never forget when you would give me piggy back rides around the house at full speed over and over again because I loved it so much. I loved you so much. You were one of the funniest people I have ever known and always had everyone cracking up.  Any time spent with you, was time I cherished (even if it meant getting in trouble for watching Beavis and Butthead with you).  You were there if I needed you. When I was afraid of the "monsters" in my bedroom, you would always assure me that you were right across the hall to protect me.  That was all I needed to hear to feel safe.

     My heart is aching that you are no longer here to light up the room with your infectious smile. I know you are watching over us now and we will see you again some day. You are deeply missed and will forever remain in my heart. I love you, Boss!

love always,
