God of power and mercy, you have made death itself the gateway to eternal life. Look with love on our dying bother, and make him one with your son in his suffering and death, that, sealed with the blood of Christ, he may come before you free from sin. Amen.

Rest in peace brother!

I was with him for 3 years and even though i was kept a secret he people knew about us. Now all I do is just wish he was here, and the idiots that decided to play god have theirs coming cause sooner or later they'll get caught and they'll be rotting in jail. he didn't deserve to go so soon. I miss you so much fatty<3
