Manoli, Shannon, Mac, and Dave~

I am deeply sorry for your recent loss. Gunner was an amazing guy who literally put a smile on everyone’s face each and every time we saw him. He went through good times and bad but always seemed to fight until the end. It is important to remember that each of you helped to shape him into the individual he was and that your efforts provided the best possible outcomes for him as he struggled with chronic and acute episodes of illness.

As you move forward, just remember that you are all in my thoughts during this difficult time. Your family has been part of my family for over 20 years and I will always remember the great times everyone shared. Just remember… good times will return. Stay strong and take care of yourselves and each other. I will surely see you in July to express my condolences in person and to catch up.

Much love, keep smiling!

Brad

Manoli,Shannon,& Mac, You people are the three luckiest people in the world to have had all the time you had to spend with the most wonderful boy in the world. Times were often very tough but as soon as the smile came back to that precious little face everything else didnt matter. Manoli, you gave him the best care and love I've ever seen by a mom, you are the reason he lived 15 yrs. and ll months.. Shannon & Mac you gave him so much love and support and a reason to live..God HOW HE LOVED YOU TWO!!! I will always have the memories of everything he did, how he smiled and laughed, holding Cali's hand and putting his little hand on her leg everytime he saw her, the times I talked on the phone with him and when we walked thru the door how he always let us know he was there. We all will miss him so much, but also we know now he is without that ungodly pain, We love you so much Gunner and you'll be in our hearts and souls forever!! Everytime I see a balloon I'll remember those big brown eyes and the way you looked up everytime we brought one to you...You had so much love and you were so lucky to have Keith in your life, He was beside you every step of the way.... Take care up in heaven sweetheart, You'll always be with us....Love always,Cindy,Cali Jordan,Bob & Brady xoxoxo

I was Gunner's tutor from 2005-2006. I was very sad when I read his obituary today in the paper. What a joy it was to work with Gunner. I still can hear his laughter when I would walk into his room. Even though his speech was limited...his knowledge was great. I am blessed to have known such a sweet wonderful boy. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
Sincerely,

Julie Thornton

Gunner was the best brother and best person I will ever have the pleasure of knowing. I miss him deeply everyday but feel blessed to have so much love and support from all the lives he touched, which was too many to name. Look down on me little brother... I'm going to need an angel to help me through.

Love you so much.

Shann
