"A big piece of my heart now lives in Heaven and he is my son (Binky)." (Dad)"To my best friend and my cousin Marcus, you were always there for me no matter what. You never let me down; you always had my back. We went to elementary school together, and we fought many battles in those streets. And through it all, God kept us. I will truly miss you, my cousin, my brother, and friend." ( Daron)
