This weekend, we traveled to the mountains of Virginia to celebrate the life of one of the most special people we have ever known.
She started as a friend…but somewhere along the way, she became family.
For years, we all lived side by side on the Loop, and those years gave us more memories than I could ever put into one Facebook post. Family paint nights, cookouts, fishing trips, sandbar days, long conversations in the garage, and countless moments in between that probably didn’t seem important at the time—but now mean absolutely everything.
She was truly the heart of our Loop Family. She had a way of making life fun, bringing people together, and reminding everyone around her what really mattered. Family was always her priority. Always.
I learned so much through the years—not only from her, but from Tony as well—about being a better husband, father, friend, and family man. The kind of friendship we all shared is something that doesn’t come along often in life, and we will forever be grateful that ours did.
This weekend, being surrounded by our extended family—the people we met and grew close to through her—was a beautiful reminder of just how many lives she touched and how much love she brought into this world.
And I can’t leave this out…she was always one of That Welder Guy’s biggest fans and supporters. She believed in me, cheered me on, and was always proud of what I was building. That kind of support from someone you love means more than they will ever know.
She was one of a kind. She was family. She was the best.
And she is going to be truly, deeply missed.
❤️ Until we see you again, our dear friend. Thank you for all the laughs, all the memories, and for being such an important part of our lives. The Loop will never be the same without you…but the memories we made there will live with us forever.
