I’ll remember his purest heart, and his sweet demeanor. I’ve always loved him like he was my own son… He was so good to both of my daughters, a smart, intuitive, wise beyond his years young man.
Marie and Steve, so sorry to hear about your son, you are in my prayers, if you need anything please let me know.may he rest in peace.
I just recently met Arthur. He has a great personality and was very friendly and loving and supportive of his family. My words are few. Please have a moment of silence and hold your loved ones a little tighter. God bless y’all. Rest in Peace Art. 🌈💒🎶

He was the first person I fell in love with. I have nothing but good memories of him. I actually didn’t know him very well… just how he interacted with me. I didn’t try to ask him a lot of personal questions because I thought he and I would be together forever. Haha, ah, young me…. He disappeared in 2014. I didn’t know his last name so I couldn’t find him online to find out why. Today, I found a number he gave me way back that was out of order at the time, added it to my contacts, and synced my phone contacts to FB and found his profile. I wish I found it sooner. From what I read from those who loved him, it seems I missed out on someone special. I want to go back in time and reconnect with him. I want to know him even better than I did when we were together. He’s the first person in my life I cared about to have died. I can’t wrap my head around not being able to talk to him again. I feel like something special was taken from me and I haven’t spoken to him in 4 years. I wish I could have at least been at his funeral. It would be both the first and last time I got to see him in person, but at least I would have finally saw his face in front of me. I never got to video chat with him, didn’t even get to talk to him on the phone. I never even heard his voice. What does it sound like? This all feels so odd…. I’m so sorry for all those who lost him. I pray you will all heal soon. God bless <3
