He found such profound joy in cultivating his garden, where vibrant life flourished under his care, mirroring the love he poured into his family. He had an incredible gift for fixing things, always ready to lend his skills to mend not just objects, but often spirits too. We’ll forever cherish his warm smile and the incredible calm demeanor that made everyone around him feel at ease and loved. He was a gentle soul whose presence brought comfort and a sense of enduring peace.
