What I love the most was that his presence was infectious. I loved that he embraced so many others. I can't even begin to explain the various people (friends/strangers) he's helped in some way, shape or form. He was a provider and needed nothing in return. I specifically recall a time when we were at BNM (CP) and he bought a kid he didn't know three brand new skate decks because he couldn't afford it. Almost always he would be the one to pick me up from light rail when I was stranded. I remember the time he made me teach him how to do cartwheels in town center parking lot and the time he made Annie and I dumpster dive with Chris to find carpet rolls for shed two. Which then led to climbing onto rooftops of the buildings high enough to make us pee our pants, but the view was always worth it. He is unlike anyone I will ever come to know. His thoughts and ideas were so far beyond this universe, and sometimes hard to fully grasp. But we connected he and I . I am forever grateful for that.
