To our dearest Val

It’s hard to find the right words when someone you love is gone. I think we’re all still trying to process it. But one thing I do know is that Val made each of our lives better in his own way. He made us laugh, showed up when it mattered, and gave us memories that we’ll carry for the rest of our lives.
Let’s remember that while we lost someone we deeply love, we’re also grateful that we were lucky enough to have had him in our lives. His impact on each of us will never fade.
Let’s keep Val and his family in our hearts. And let’s lean on each other, because that’s what friends do, and that’s what Val would have wanted.
He absolutely loved his e-bike, pickleball and newly formed Pokemon Go community and we all loved him and still do.
We love you, Val. You’ll always be a part of us, and you’ll never be forgotten.
May you ride is paradise my dearest friend. I miss you so terribly much.
