Although he hasn’t been a part of our family for very long Xavier sure did make in impact on our lives. My life, my wife’s life and my son’s lives. We all loved him. My whole family loved him he was a great guy. The best
It was something to see, when Xavier would come over to my parent’s house for Sunday dinners all the kids swarm him. “Xavier, Xavier” they’d shout. And he would play with them, all the time. I don’t know where he got the energy. I could tell he was going to make a great father one day.
The way he treated my mother, I could tell he was raised right. He was nothing but kind and respectful and my mom LOVED him. Even though my mom has eight sons I sometimes thought Xavier was her favorite. She’d be hollering “Xavier, I need you.”
I’d say, “Hey mom I’m right here what do you need?”
She was just like no that’s fine I want Xavier to help me. He’d come and take her hand and get down on her level and talk with her. So sweet. He was that kind of guy.
Our conversations, about anime, movies, and video games, I’ll miss them. Who else will I annoy about how DBZ is far superior to Naruto? You always had a quick rebuttal on hand for that.
Right now, both of our families our missing you tons. I know no one more so than your mama, your dad, your brothers, your sister and my niece Paige. I feel so terrible for all of them, truly. But as bad as I feel for all of them, I’m feeling a little selfish, right now. At this moment, I feel bad for myself because I lost a real good friend. I’ll miss You brother. I love you. Play well in heaven, IAmXavierPee.
Love you Xavier, Adam and Gabriella (Gaby) Kiesler
