• I love the video tribute for Des! It brought tears full of joy/pain, smiles, and more moments of reminiscing about lil cuz and growing up together as cousins! His life really has impacted a lot of family and friends who have been blessed to have spent time with him in one way or another. He definitely made a mark here while on earth, and may his roaring spirit continue to bring countless smiles not feelings of sadness at the simple thought of "Lil Des". I think I can honestly say if anyone ever had a problem or ill feeling towards Des, they were definitely the problem because he only displayed laughter, confidence (he swore up and down he could beat anybody at any sport and was ready to show you too lol), a heart of a lion, encouragement, positivity, and love towards everyone he encountered. Des, I love you and always admired you more than you will ever know cuzzo since we were kids. We did not have a chance to go to the LV Aces game to see Candace Parker together like we talked about for this Summer and finally having our chicken wing cook off but God had other plans. I'll surely be thinking of you when I do visit home in Vegas. Des, may you rest in peace and may your spiritual presence bring comfort and healing to your mom, dad, sisters, brothers, cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and countless friends who are hurting just as much as I am, as I write this in memory of you! I'm still in disbelief but remind myself everytime you cross my mind about Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” I may not understand why you had to go so suddenly but trust in God's ultimate decision and not my own understanding. Just know from birth you were always "The Little/Big Engine that Could"! Rest easy until we meet again. Love Jacina
