A. Well as his little brother I learn very quickly had to take a beating. And not just by him but by his friends. But I guess that's what brothers were for. We grew up not knowing our father, because he left us when dan was 4 years old. I am 3 years younger than him . So I was only 1 year old. Then a man stepped into our lives and basically took over, and was very good to us. He raised us until we were adults. Then when our stepfather got busted for making a mistake. When we went to florida to meat our father and that's when he met heather. I remember being jelious because I liked her first Until got to know her.. Then a month or two later they decided to come to vincennes.. Then on may 10th which is my birthday. met dan at the bar . after that I gave him a ride home. then at 3:00 am I asked him to ryan russels bands afterparty. hung out there till around 5 am. Then I left you at the party when i was suppose to take you ..Then I get a phone call at eight in the morning saying get to the hospital...Not knowing i would never see you until I pass on.. Just want to say I love you and rest in peace
