I don't know how I would have made it through 2016, which was the year I met him, in 2017, without him. I wouldn't have the relationship that I have with my wife. I wouldn't have my children. I wouldn't have the job that I have if it weren't for him. I'm actually, I don't know, man. I was so, like, since I had heard the news, I hadn't cried. My mom and dad started crying and I couldn't, I just like, I couldn't do it. And it's just like, man, like the stuff that he taught me, the stuff that he imparted, the wisdom that he shared through his experience, through his pain, like that's going to be with me for my whole life.
