The earth stood still today,

When we heard of your fall.

You were a son to some, and a friend to all.

Your smile and your laughter

Filled each room to the rafter.

Not a day went by

Without giving your best try,

but now all that’s left is the temptation to cry.

To mourn or to celebrate?

I think you’d choose the latter,

and crack a beer to commemorate.

A life full of love.

A man we were all truly in awe of.
