Me and Shamarr met in the summer of 2010 at Chipola. We were teammates, but instantly linked from how we both did a little bit of bouncing around for our college basketball careers. His work ethic is very contagious and instantly motivates you in whatever aspect of life your working towards. Our friendship transitioned to our young adult life to this current day to where we bounce ideas off of each other and vent about our professional life. He has always been a stand up guy and I'm glad to have him in my corner. "I FEEL IT"

My boy Brandon"Rook" go back to that little dirt road and that cement block with the basketball goal. To those who dont know, we called this "The Court". This was our personal sanctuary where we not only became better basketball players, but where we shaped our character. If you lost, you had to dwell on the last game all night and all day at school until we had another shot at each other. We laughed and fought each other, but most importantly we created a life long bond.

Whenever me and Marcus get in a couple’s debate about something, we always call Ashley and Larry. “What would Ashley or Larry do? WWALD LOL” We can always depend on them to give us truthful answers so we can settle the debate. It’s so funny because half of the time I am always the one who is right. (LOL) Our bond together is truly strong by being honest with each other no matter how much it hurts. I am proud to say that Ashley is a devoted wife, mother of two beautiful girls, educator, entrepreneur of “Paparazzi Jewelry”, and she’s my SOROR OF HONOR.

Greg Sutton (Honorary)

Best Man

Greg was one of my older brothers. To anyone who knows me, knows that i've always looked up to my two older brothers. Greg was a very laid back guy who always loved to dress. Even if he had to run to the store just to grab one item. Greg had to iron his shirt, and jeans before leaving the house because "Man, you never know who you gon see". He had a huge personality, and it was hard for anybody not to love him. I miss you dearly my brother. I'll see you, see you on the other Shore
