Godspeed Brother

What a very sad day. Sil is a brother to me. Yes-Been a Wafer Too Long!
Is sad that life has lost such a special soul. Sil was one of the brightest people I have had the pleasure to know. He was my best friend growing up. We hadn't seen each other for many years but it was always okay just knowing he was around. I was busy raising my family but it was always great to communicate via txt messages or emails. It felt like no time had passed between us, although a lifetime had occurred.
It was an honor and pleasure to see him last year at my father's funeral, and i was so happy to see him doing well with his own business and finally able to put years of struggle behind him. I was floored to see this sad end, as i thought Sil was on to far greater things.
Sil, you'll be sorely missed and i feel a part of me is gone. Wishing your parents and brothers peace and comfort during this terrible time. I love you brother. I will miss the many conversations that we will not have as we grow into middle age. Peace.

Rest in Peace Silvano

As our first born you were special, and you made us very proud of your academic achievements, until in your late teens you started to try substances that eventually ruined your life and ultimately terminated it.
We never stopped loving you no matter what, even though sometimes you kept your distance. And we know you loved us too, your brothers and nieces. We were happy to see you here at Mesa, Easter of last year and at Christmas three years ago. It was very memorable to have our three sons together.
We hope you found your lasting peace now.
Love mom and dad

Rest In Peace, Brother!!!

I don't even know what to say . . .

My heart is torn. I'm just still in disbelief knowing that you are gone. You weren't always the nicest of brothers, and always pushed me away. Maybe it was for my own good? You're my older brother. I have always looked up to up, even if I didn't agree. I wish I got to hear from you one more time, but "You've Been A Wafer Too Long". (inside joke only a small few would know.) I can share millions of memories here, but I will only say is thank you for directing me in the right path musically for it shaped me into who I am today! Rest in peace, brother! I know it's been a rough 20+ years for you and sadly this is how you have finally found peace. I love you!
