    You are one of the most treasured persons/actors I have had the ability to watch grow through movies and television…a true inspiration to those who are new to acting and even those who have been around awhile, there will not be anyone as uniquely talented or fun to watch or learn from…a proficient and gifted guy in all things he set out to accomplish…A true legend…Your movies only gave a us a piece of the real person you are…Mesmerized us by your charisma as is portrayed in each character you brought to life and in a way let us into your personal space of the man you truly are…In a way we all lost a dear friend in our lives…Your parents, sisters, Matilda and Michelle lost a beautiful soul when you left…You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers forever…We miss and love you…R.I.P.
