I am so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs & prayers 🫂🙏🏻
We will forever miss you. I tell Cody everyday how much you loved him. I’ll be sure to remind him for as long as I live and share all the memories. I hold hope you’re finally at rest. ♥️
The day you decided to wash my car with a mop🤦♀️ had to be the funniest think I’ve ever seen a human do
Vern will definitely not be forgotten. He was such a great guy
I have known Vern and his sisters.pretty much our whole lives. Vern will be forever missed. Rest easy Vern. Tell your mom I said hi and give her a hug for me.
Vern was fierce, loyal, kind, funny. If you needed him….. he’d be there. No matter the consequences. He was a true friend.
Vern was the dude all the youngsters wanted to be like. Handsome, good with the ladies, tough as nails and over all just a cool dude. I always looked up to him and when he noticed me and I became someone he chilled with someone I could call a friend…. I thought I made it. I thought I was the coolest dude in the world when Vern, Rol, Nate, Seth and the rest of the zoo crew let me kick it. The good ol days…. I’m gonna miss you big bro!
I hadn’t seen you in years big dog and we definitely had our ups and downs in our friendship, but that was because you where more like a big brother then just a friend. No matter how bad we argued or how many times we fought…. if I needed you, if I was in trouble, you always had my back, and there wasn’t anyone better to have in your corner when times where tough or went wrong. I love you Vern and you’ll forever be missed. I’m sure I’ll see you on the other side someday. Until then, look out for me. Keep me safe and on the right path and I’ll make sure to check in on the boys, Christine and your sisters. Rest in peace big bro!🥰💓❤️
