Its surreal that it was exactly three weeks ago yesterday that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
He fought hard, he stayed positive throughout the battle and wasnt afraid.
He encouraged those around him.
He loved to help others and longed for peace and was an ambassador for positivity.
He loved his family and was extremely proud of his children.
He also loved his job and felt so blessed to do what he did for a living.
He was one hell of a journalist and took his job very seriously.
God is walking along side us, guiding and protecting us.
