Eulogy from Jeremy Andre

I came to Northview in our 6th grade year. I was lost, I knew no one. So DJ, George, and Josh took me into their group. I soon came to find out that that was exactly his nature; leave no one out, be everyone’s friend.

It didn’t take long before we were all great friends.

Every time I hit a rough spot in life, he would be there making me laugh, helping me through whatever problems I had. And it wasn’t just me he helped, it was anyone and everyone.

I learned a lot from him, and soon people would tell us we were too much alike in similar personalities, saying the same things at the same time at random points, same eating habits, etc…

There can never be anyone like him in my life. He was one of a kind, but I’m still glad to have my friends around me and DJ near me in my heart.

He was our guardian in life and even now I know that hasn’t changed.
