Ellie MottingerYou brightened my day at school and made me feel so much purpose and self love I had lost when I was battling depression. I’ve never known anyone so smart and kind and genuine. I just wish I could’ve given you that same respect back while you were going through it. Tremper Highschool will never be the same without you.

Niki PardonHe was a role model and one of the best babysitters ever. I remember as a very little girl I thought of him as a god. I was even mean to a high school girl at age 5 telling her to take a hint he didn’t like her.
