The world lost a WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL soul. I will ALWAYS be grateful for the impact you had on my life…. You were my light out of the darkness. You helped shape me who I am today and see the world differently. You never gave up on me, when I was in the dark and pulled me out of the abyss of depression and made me see that I still had a life to live. You made me stand tall when I didnt want too, and that I had value again. Thank you! I was also the first one you told about coming out. I was so proud of you for taking that stand for yourself. You are the reason I fight and am an advocate for equality of gay rights. You made it possible for my to feel comfortable to come out to me. I am truly honored, grateful, and absolutely blessed to have known you. You maybe gone but your memory and impact will NEVER be forgotten. Rest in peace Digit. 💜❤💙💛💚
In loving memory of you Digit! Rest in peace my wonderful friend…My condolences to your family, as well as thoughts, and prayers.
