Mom and I miss you more each day. Our journey through life is forever changed by your absence. We are forever grateful for the 30 years we were blessed to have known you. The path forward will be forever altered with your leaving us behind. There have been so many stories that have been created since your passing that we would love to share with you. We love the precious memories and photographs we collected over the course of your life. We are saddened that there will be no more events with you in them, but you will never be removed from those that you were in attendance. Our hearts feel a little empty today as we celebrate what would have been your 32nd birthday. Your mother and I will love and miss you until we are together again.
Love Mom and Dad.
Love Mom and Dad.

Leland was one of a kind, always there for anyone at anytime. I will treasure the memories we shared for the rest of my life. He was my best friend for nearly the last twenty years, even though our interests changed as we got older.
I recall the times when I was a kid, getting on the bus to hang out at your place instead of heading home. We would snack on those peanut butter pretzels and play a couple games of chess. We'd play video games until his mom called us for dinner. Then I'd head home and we'd get on the computer and talk back and forth over yahoo messenger.
We had many hobbies growing up, some we shared and others still. We would play Airsoft in highschool, hangout in the halls, and usually ate lunch together, I'd trade him an apple juice for half the cosmic brownie his mom packed him every day. When he got his license, he'd pick me up on the way to school every morning.
He got me a job at Old Dominion which I spent 9 months working, he would stop by and say hey every day after he'd finished his deliveries. When he started riding his motorcycle, he didn't really have to twist my arm to convince me to get one also. I didn't get to ride with him nearly as much as I would have liked to, but I'm thankful for the rides we shared.
Every weekend I was off we would try and do something, weather it was hanging out at your place or going out on the town. If I didn't have the extra money to spare, he would always cover the tab, just because he wanted to hang out.
I will miss him each and every day, for the rest of my life, he was truely a great friend to me and every single person lucky enough to have known him. The world will forever be a little less bright without him.
Thank you for everything, Leland.
