As a natural light, his humor touched many around him and his laugh could be heard from different ends of the world. At any given opportunity, he effortlessly put smiles on strangers' faces. He poured lots of love into his family by spending quality time with his mom, siblings, uncles, and cousins. He enjoyed watching movies and going out to eat with his children. On sunny days, he loved to sit on the porch with his "speaker box" and even sometimes took strolls to enjoy the nature. His love for animals ran deep and in return, all furry creatures loved him back.
