I met Tito and Jackie a year ago when their son Andrew had introduce me to them at the begin of our relationship. Till this day, I remember how nervous I was to meet them. I remember walking through the door and how sweet they both were, making sure I was comfortable in their home.
As I continued to visit them, Tito always made me feel so welcomed and wanted. I always enjoyed his funny stories, showing me pictures of his cars at work, or even simply telling me about his day. Tito company always felt warmed and inviting, not a single bad bone in his body.
Tito, I never got to tell you this, but I’ve only ever told Andrew. You were truly a father figure towards me. Not only were you there for your family, but you were also there for me too. I wished I could repay you for all that you have done for me within the past year. You truly welcomed me into your family with opened arms and I don’t think I’ll ever stumble upon someone as humbling as you were. As days continue after losing you, I see a little piece of you in Andrew everyday. You have honestly raised an amazing man and I thank you for that. Going over to the house will never be the same as we all continue to wait for you to come home from work. I’m going to miss your warmed welcoming smile, how you would peak into the kitchen to see what Andrew and I were making, the hugs you gave when I would arrive, or simply saying goodnight to you. Tito, I wished you knew how many lives you have impacted, because you sure impacted mine. I love you Tito, you’ll never be forgotten. I promise I will take care of Andrew and be his biggest support, I won’t let you down. Rest in peace, you’ll forever be missed.
It was an honor to know and work with an amazingly talented, self-less gentleman over the past 15 years.
Every person that met Alex was left with a positive impression. He carried himself in such a respectable manner, even during his most challenging times of health. There simply isn't anyone else I know that could be compared to Alex, he was the best.
I am devastated by your loss, the only solace I take is that you are no longer in pain. We will miss you beyond words, but your memory will live on forever.
You will forever be known to me as the strongest man I’ve ever known. You had a heart full of nothing but love a pure rich kindness as we’re able to spread that love and touch so many hearts. Not every man can do what you did yes it’s not a secret I’m not your blood son but damn you made it feel that way for 20 years and it’s something I’ll never forget, You are my dad in my eyes and my heart and no amount of words can describe how much I love you. You were my best friend growing up from playing our famous game of the cooties to riding your invention of bike with a lawnmower engine on it and putting gizmo in it like ET, and singing jingle bells at 3 o’clock in the morning. Your name and your story will be talked about for decades I will make sure of it. Your my best friend my dad and the most amazing man to ever walk this earth I wish to grow up to be half the man and father you were. I love you dad rest in paradise until we meet again.
