You were my locker mate since 7th Grade . Man of few words but was by me until the end of school “1993” RIP RJ forever will remember you next to me everyday - Kim Collins

FOREVER 47

Rj had the most brightest soul. He was the only man I knew who had the biggest heart and despite everything he has been through he remained strong and would give the shirt off his back for the people he loved. My mother always talked about his kindness he had for others. I will forever cherish the last moment we all had together.

I have knowing RJ since we were 5 years old. We grew up together in the same neighborhood. I spent many days at his childhood home playing baseball in the back yard, swimming in the pool, or viewing his Dad's Playboy Magazines (I promise you we only read the articles). I haven't seen RJ in over 20 years, but I will also remember his friendly face and his generous heart. I am sorry, I will not be able make to celebrate his life in person. I would have loved to heard stories and tells some as well. To Casey, Madison, Jalen, and Collins I am truly sorry for your loss.

Rest easy RJ. Until we meet again. I will always remember the stuff we did as kids. Man where we a rowdy bunch.
