It’s always sad when a brother is lost to us. Everyone fits in a puzzle and he was a large piece. We didn’t lose just a friend and brother. We lost an intricate leader in storytelling, dance and song. My prayers and love go out to those closest to him: family, friends and co-workers. I weep for our loss.
