Rahmir was a good friend of mine. I knew his wife and kids. This is so sad for them to lose a husband and a great father a day before Christmas. He will be missed by many. RIP Homie

His suffering is over but you cowards who took him from his family will suffer in ways you can't imagine. God is love but he also is wrath, God brought his soldier home but you will suffer his wrath Gs!
