Goodnight sweet brother, Goodnight. The time has come to say our Goodbyes, you left too sudden, in the blink of an eye. Leaving oceans of words unsaid, quiet and stagnant they eat at my heart, because never again can you hear me say: I love you and I’m proud of the man you became. A leader, a role model, a loving friend – A son, a brother, full of light and love at the end. The hold you’ve left can never be filled – It is a sucking black place, where sorrow is milled.But I still say my goodbyes …Because my farewells are not forever – It just means I will miss you, Until we meet again – RSMom Patti Merriner, Pat Williams, Father Heiko, Rhonda Muench, Grandma Ruth Merriner.

Uncles: Rich Merriner, Wayne Andrus-Merriner, Leigh & Jean Schroyer. Aunts: Audrey Lee, Charlie Merriner & Kathleen Andrus Merriner.
