"It hurts losing a brother I served with. Your smile lit up the whole room and you had such a kind and genuine soul. I will miss you teaching me dance moves and just being goofy overall. Your story times will make the whole room laugh until our stomach hurt and your love/passion for fashion and the arts was truly inspiring. Rest in eternal peace and you will be dearly missed. RAHHH and Semper Fi!!”

"BG-Bop you will truly be missed. When it comes to you and your siblings I always felt more of a sibling relationship than a cousin relationship. I will always cherish the memories, from back yard birthday parties to you thinking you older and have to be the protector. Thank you for the check-ins, the visits when you would come to Chicago, and true family love. I will love you IVever little one ❤️ -Miya”

"R.i.P William I will always Cherish the memories and laughter we shared in Highschool”

"I had the nicest message written and none of it saved unfortunately. I’ll try it again though. I just want you to know brother, you have left such an impression on this world. You have love and prayers flowing in from all over the world for your family. I hope you hear all the prayers. I hope you see all the love, as well. You overcame so much to get to where you were. Just a city kid from Chicago, that made it out! Made it out with a smile and a drive to continue to achieve more. Not just for yourself but for your family! Those traits aren’t common now and you were far from common! I will never forget your charisma and your infectious personality. You made everyone smile and laugh. For years to come, until we meet again, I will continue to hear your amazing cadences in my dreams and remember the great man you were! Im happy to have known you. Just a bit sad, our relationship didn’t get the chance to grow more, like we wanted it to! You will never be forgotten ❤️ God needed his strongest Marine for watch. Guard the pearly gates of Heaven, until we meet again! Semper Fidelis Brother ❤️”

Your legacy will live through me. I will make sure no one will forget you. I will always love you Son and your memories will forever be shared with the world....Love Mom. #TheFamilyLegend #IVever”
