Quil is from Memphis, Tn and has know Dillon 13 years. I have known Dillon since way back in 2010 when we were both at Tigrett Middle School. He was always that super smart guy who was also really cool with my favorite middle school teacher. It wasn't until 2012, when we both started attending Madison Academic High School, that we truly became friends.We bonded over our shared love for forward thinking and sports. We ended up playing basketball together on our high school team, Madison Mustangs. From that point on, we spent countless hours hooping, working out, laughing, playing video games and cheering on our favorite sports teams/athletes. It's funny how we lived just two neighborhoods away from each other, making it easy for us to kick it whenever we wanted. "

When I moved to Nashville I only had one familiar person but she has made room for me in her family and I will always appreciate that. We went through life changing events together and I always admired her strength and resiliency through it all. I appreciate her prayers and her listening ear when I needed to vent over the years.
