My brother wanted nothing but peace and he has that. We are all in disbelief but know that he is with us in spirit. Which we know will live on forever with each and every person he touched.
We are going to use this money to help pay for his memorial and other arrangements and any money left over will be used for a few scholarship funds in my brothers name. 
Many of you know why, he was intelligent and would want us to help other people find their own paths... So, instead of turning this into a sorrowful event, we are choosing to be enlightened by him and "tread mindfully on the earth" ... 
thank you for your donations and kind words
