AJ and Dillon shared more than brotherhood — they shared an unspoken understanding, a bond rooted in loyalty, laughter, and love. They were different in temperament but alike in heart: AJ, the protector with boundless energy and courage; Dillon, the gentle soul with quiet strength and grace. Together, they balanced and completed each other — fierce competitors, loyal teammates, and best friends through every season of life. Their connection was a testament to the power of brotherhood — that kind of love that both steadies and strengthens. Though their earthly journeys ended far too soon, their light continues to guide Luv Ya Like A Brother — a living legacy of compassion, connection, and courage that reflects who they were and what they stood for.

AJ was the oldest of three — a natural leader with an infectious laugh, boundless energy, and a deep sense of loyalty to the people he loved. He had a way of lighting up any room he entered, effortlessly drawing others in with his humor, warmth, and sincerity. Beneath his confidence was a heart of gold — protective, generous, and always ready to stand up for what he believed in. AJ loved everything Marvel — the heroes, the stories, and the sense of courage they represented — and he shared that same spirit in the way he lived. He also loved gaming with his brother, where competition and connection came together in laughter and late nights. He shared a special bond with his younger siblings, guiding them with both strength and tenderness, and took genuine pride in their growth. AJ’s life was filled with passion and purpose, and though his time here ended far too soon, his light continues to burn brightly in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Dillon was the youngest of three — a gentle soul with an extraordinary gift for making everyone around him feel welcome, loved, and seen. He carried a soft heart, a patient spirit, and a quiet discernment that gave him wisdom beyond his years. Even in life’s hardest moments, Dillon had a calm steadiness that brought peace to those who knew him. He loved his dog, Fitz; the freedom of the open road on his motorcycle; competitive rounds of golf with his family; and long gaming sessions shared with his brother and closest friends. He was also a devoted big brother to his eight-year-old bonus sister — their bond was one of pure joy and mutual admiration. Dillon left this world far too soon, but his kindness, compassion, and quiet strength continue to inspire everyone whose lives he touched.
