A gentle heart, a spirited soul,

A life lived bright and free.

He found his piece by water’s edge,

Where music meets the breeze.

One-of-a-kind in every way,

Eccentric, shy, and true –

He’d cast a line with just one corn

And catch more fish than you.

A shining light who stood apart

In all he loved to do.

Forever young, forever loved,

His laughter still remains.

A song, a wave, a memory –

Love stronger than the pain.
