My deepest condolences.
We met over 10 years ago when you would get your coffee from me after your workout. Over time, we grew close, and you and Mado proudly called yourselves my “gym parents.” You were a sweet, kind man with a warm heart—always thoughtful and supportive through so many of my life’s milestones, from graduation to marriage to motherhood.
Carrot cake will always be remembered as your favourite birthday cupcake Flavour.
You will be truly missed, Dennis.
