A good friend of JC's, Tom, shared this with me today. The moment I read his message and listened to his beautiful tribute, the tears started flowing.
It was another reminder of just how extraordinary JC was. He had a gift for making people feel seen, valued, and loved. No matter how busy he was, he always found time to send a thoughtful message, check in on a friend, offer encouragement, or remind someone they were capable of more than they believed. He spent so much of his life lifting others up, often without anyone realizing how much of himself he was giving away in the process.
The world was simply a better place with you in it. The hole you've left behind is impossible to ignore. Life is going to be hard to navigate, not just for me, but for the countless family members, friends, and lives you touched along the way.
We love you. We miss you. We laugh through the tears at the memories you gave us. And we will never forget you.
Keep watching over us, handsome. Until we meet again. ❤️
