I don’t know what to say. He was so smart and so funny and so talented. I haven’t seen him in years but love him so much.
I’m terribly sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with Uncle Ray, Julie, and Matt.
We are so sad and sorry to read of your loss, Matt and Krista along with your extended family. May God comfort as He alone can.
My love to you Ian, Hunter, Uncle Ray, Julie, Matt, Krista, Sydney and Allison. I’m so sorry to hear this. Lots of love is sent your way.
We are very sad to hear about this. Our love to Ray, Julie, and Matt. Wish we could be there today.
