My sincerest condolences. Truxler was such a wonderful friend. Such a big heart. Always worried about everyone else. Even after being flown out, fighting sickness, first thing he asked me was how my baby is doing. One of the best friends I have ever had. He loved all of his family and friends so much. My prayers are with you all.
