You never know when your last day is going to be so you have to cherish every moment you have here on Earth and just be thankful to, you know, our heavenly father for just blessing us and giving us another day. So gone too soon man, you know? I hope he's kicking up in heaven and just, you know, I hope he rests in peace up there."
