He was so compassionate, loving, caring, friendly and had a contagious laugh. He had a willingness to help others and an inspiration to become a firefighter when he grew up. He made friends everywhere he would go. He loved spending time with family and friends. And did not like to see anyone down or crying. He would always be willing to take on the challenge to make you smile or laugh with a big hug. he went through a lot in life but always was cheerful and grateful for every moment. He loved playing games, playing pranks, singing, dancing, playing sports, a puzzle wizard, a builder and loved watching movies. we will always cherish every memory we have of him, and we’re blessed to have raised an angel on earth. though he was not here that long on earth, he impacted so many lives no matter how big or small. Even tho he is no longer with us in the physical form he is teaching us life lessons by making us channel our inner Jojo.
