Im so sorry for your lose. Rusty was a very good guy and will be very much missed. he was always a good time to be around.
Rusty was a good guy. I only had the privilege to meet him twice and both times he was kind of quiet or maybe shy. Amongst a room full of good people though, he stuck out because of the kindness and sensitivity in his eyes and that which reflected in his words, although they were few. I enjoyed seeing how genuinely happy his spirit was when someone had reached a goal they had made regardless of how big or small it may have seemed to others. I’m sorry for your loss, for the loss many others feel with you and the loss of a good soul to this world. May he live on in the hearts of those who love him and those fortunate enough to have met him.
All my Love,
Alyssa
I will dearly miss Rusty, I sat next to him most wednesday nights, he had a shining spirit, and a kind and gentle heart… I will always carry him in my heart, and hope that he is at peace, flying with the angels, out in the stars that he was so fond of… I am so sorry for your loss…
Love and Peace to you and your family…
