So many memories from MLK, Rollins, and Muckleroy. You will be truly missed. Westside for life
My condolences
Cousin I will miss your spirit and most of all your laughs. Until we meet again.
Merion was a lifelong friend who I will miss very much. He was an honorable man and the best friend anyone could ask for. I am praying for his family and wishing my sincere condolences. May God bless his children whom I know he loved dearly.
