You are unconditionally loved by Grandma!

We love you so much AJ more than you know! I still can’t believe you are gone that my heart aches. You are my dearest first nephew and I have so many memories of you as a little child because I got to babysit you.  Thank you for everything especially when we needed you to watch Momo.  Thank you for coming to the house one last time few weeks before Christmas and how we had a good laugh because I didn’t recognize you and won’t let you in the house.  I know that you are at peace and much happier now with the Lord because you have earned it to take up residence with Him in a joyous eternity.  Watch over us and help us get through this.  We are already missing you so so much my dear AJ! ❤️❤️❤️

I am so heartbroken right now i just found out my friend A.j. Balagot died 5 days ago....... im already going thru it because my mom died tomorrow 2 years ago and i am also struggling hard with personal stuff. But this one for sure was a shocker. Since the day i met A.J. he had always been there for me. He was someone when i was really struggling that I'd call and he'd always make me laugh. He set time aside for his friends and he was never too busy to talk or come see me. I will always cherish memories of the random trips to Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz mountains (usually impulsively in the middle of the night) He loved driving those mountain roads blasting his music. Or going out to eat and trying different sushi spots trying to find the best one. A.J. was a breath of fresh air for me. He was always so positive and happy everytime i saw him. Even when he was struggling he always had a positive and optimistic outlook. And anytime i was struggling he had the gift of taking my pesimistic outlook and making it so i walked away with optimism and feeling better about whatever the situation was. That was always something i respected and loved so much about him. He could always make me smile and laugh. I always watched all his videos on tik-tok and loved his vision of spirituality. He made me think outside the norm and challenged my mind, thoughts and beliefs. Im so confused and dont know how or why this happened. But my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family and anyone who loved him. This world definitly took a loss with this one. Fly high A.J. i will miss you more than words could ever say. Say hi to my mom for me. I am grateful to have you watching over me from above. You are my friend but now also my gaurdian angel.  Until we meet again Rest Easy Friend I love you
