Dear Mick,
I wish I had the chance to tell you all of this in person but, people don't always share how they really feel when they should. I just want you to know this. You're the most tender hearted sweetest man I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Always a pleasure to talk with. Having nothing to say but positivity and encouragement, you radiated joy, calmness and contentment like I've never known and that will stay with me forever. Any time we spoke, whether it was just a simple hello while passing by or times we sat together talking about the world, work, ideas, life goals and experiences.. There was always such an inspiring presence about you and your way of viewing the world that makes me want to slow down. Take the time to enjoy the little things like you always did. Things like the fresh spring air breeze mixed with aroma from freshly cut grass, sights of the beautiful blooming flowers in the garden and peaceful sounds everything working together in harmony. I can only hope that one day I will find that look and feeling of happiness and accomplishment just like you Mick. You didn't know it but you taught and impacted me more than I could ever express to you. In our hearts and fond memories you'll forever stay. Thank you for being you.
With much love and respect, your friend, Colton.
p.s. in case you missed the memo, you can stop working now, I can see you up there working on something!
