Artist (from paint to pencil to dirty windows), poet, author, reader, all-around wonderful person. If you needed it and he had it, it was yours. If he didn't, he'd find a way to get it. His favorite poem was "The Raven", and he could spit the whole thing out in under two minutes (usually when you least expected it). He loved music, and animals. Like Saint Francis of Assisi, he could charm the birds from the trees, quite literally. He never met a cat or dog that didn't follow him like the Pied Piper.
The years were not near long enough, my friend, I look forward to joining you someday.

Distance
By Luke A. Sweatt
When we are so far apart
Can sorrow fill my lonely heart
I love you dear I truly do
Sleep is sweet with dreams of you
With these words I vow to you
You own my heart you truly do
