Andre, you’re filled with so much love
Whenever we meet you’re quick with a hug
Always there when I’m in need
One of my dearest friends indeed
A master of tech, you are a true geek
Which you shared graciously with the Light Stalkers clique
You challenged our creative and technical grace
With colour, perspective, and negative space
You still poke fun that I hate the outside
You forgive me when I am preoccupied
You patiently help me with computer stuff
And make me laugh when things are tough
When I watch Monsters Inc., I think of you
And orange-flavoured chocolate, to which I say “ew”
The kids still refer to you as Deadpool
And all the dogs love you cuz you’re so calm and cool
Walks, photo shoots, and costume parties
Lunch dates and family dinners so hearty
I raise a glass of Chateauneuf du Pape
To one of my most favourite chaps
I’ll remember you in spring, when we go on our bikes
I’ll remember you in summer, when my backyard grows
I’ll remember you in autumn, on colourful mountain hikes
I’ll remember you in winter, by the fire as it snows
In a lifetime we will lay eyes on thousands of human beings, across rooms, on the streets, inside
buildings. In most cases, nothing will come of it. But I am eternally grateful something was formed by
our crossing paths. I cherish our friendship to the depths of my cold, dark heart.
We love you, dude.
Kim, Jason, Max & Emmy
