Andrea Bunnell- I’ve known TJ for years . He has a heart of gold and despite our age difference , we always had a great relationship. Hadn’t heard from him in months and knew . When I saw his FB post I said “oh great” he’s home “ was going to message him this morning and saw the news . One of the sweetest, loving and caring friends . I am so sorry and you will be missed so much . – we have many memories and I will cherish them all . I love you T !!!! Always !!
I’ve known TJ for over 15 years. Him and I have been through so much together. He ALWAYS had my back and was always there to cheer me up if I was having a bad day. His smile lit up the room. His laughter was contagious. His heart was always in the right place. He loved my parents and sisters. He was always so respectful and loving with them. We actually told each other that if we weren’t married by our mid 30s that we would get married! My heart goes out to his family. He may have struggled with some demons, but that never, ever made him a bad person. He had such a huge heart. He will never be forgotten.
Hey T, say hi to my brother for me..and I’m not mad at you. Love is real not fade away 💜💜💜
So sorry for your loss
