“He was a son, brother, and most of all father to our two beautiful children and life will never be the same without him.

“He had so many friends and people around that loved him. His passions were his running and hiking and he was such a fit man.  He was my rock and the person I turned to as he just always knew what to do.

“I will somehow have to find the strength to continue on without him.
