As most of you guys know

I was in Oklahoma City on a youth mission trip

it was supposed to be a learning experience, and a chance to get closer with God

I learned so much, and did become closer with the big guy

but I also lost a friend


Josh Tatalone was lost on highway 44 in Tulsa Oklahoma.




Just an hour away from our destination


His tragic death was witnessed by some of my closest friends

the pain, and confusion was felt by all, and witnessed by many


I wasn't as close to Josh as some were, but I was his friend


I miss the way he would criticize my hacky sack playing skills
the way Josh would talk about his poop with Amy
the way he would try to rap in the car...always looking for a rhyme


I know he is in heaven, skateboarding around, playing his drums, telling God funny jokes.





Youth group will never be the same...
neither will school....
neither will life...

R.I.P.
