Sherri and Family, our deepest sympathy and condolences on this untimely loss. May God keep you in his comfort as you navigate this most difficult time.
I met Orion just last year at his fathers birthday party. I was thrilled to meet my great nephew and niece. They both sat with me the entire time. What a joy they were. Orion was easy to talk to and such a giving personality. I cannot imagine your pain. I’m so very sorry..

In the quiet moments of remembrance,
I find myself adrift in the memories we painted together across the sun-kissed horizons of California. Each laughter-infused moment, every conversation, they are imprinted on my heart with the indelible ink of his spirit. Our shared journey through the flows of mental health carved a bond that transcended the ordinary—a sanctuary of understanding in a world that often feels relentless.
With his untimely departure, it feels as though a piece of my own essence has been gently untethered, leaving behind an aching void, a visceral stab in the fabric of my being. The waves of grief that now wash over me are a testament to the depth of the connection lost, to the cherished companion who once stood beside me, now a whisper in the wind.
As I navigate this world feeling alone, I am reminded of the strength they found in vulnerability, the courage they displayed in confronting the shadows of the mind. It’s a path we walked together, and now, I must tread with a heavy heart, carrying both our battles against the silent storms.
To the family, friends, and all those graced by Orion’s presence—our collective loss binds us in a silent fellowship of grief. May we find solace in the shared fragments of time, the conversations that linger in the air, and the promise to honor their legacy by holding tight to the threads of love and understanding they wove into our lives.
Rest amongst the stars, where your light can forever dance freely. You have touched the depths of my soul, and I shall carry your memory with a tender fierceness as I continue to brave the journey of life, a journey you so profoundly impacted.
In sorrow, yet with enduring love and remembrance,
