So very sorry for your loss |

Our prayers our sent from our heart to yours and your family. Your son will be missed by many. The pictures of his life
were very touching. Life is so short, we must make the best of it daily. People complain and think they have problems,
but when a beautiful life is taken at such a young age puts our daily so called problems into perspective, knowing that
our little problems whether they are financial, hardships, relationships, etc...there is no comparison to a real hurt of losing
a loved one at such an early age. My heart goes out to you and I pray for comfort, peace and healing to you.
With love and concern, Dan and Debra Capperrune
