Big Bro

From Rudy Mier, John's younger brother, who lives in Houston:

We had the typical "Big brother, little brother" relationship growing. Calling each other names, imaginary lines in our room, all the things siblings do.

He was and always will be my Big Brother.

My brother was always the "Life" of all our family get togethers no matter how big or small it was, he would have us laughing.

My brother had many gifts, but as I reflect on my brother's life, his greatest gift to me was how he always made me feel interesting and important no matter what was going on or plaguing him.
