Myles... you were special buddy, you had the best attitude towards everything. Everytime I saw you I was always greeted with a “BRYCE” following a hug or a handshake. I’ll miss that when we all get together. You were one of many that welcomed me into your guys’ group of friends and I’ll forever be grateful for that from all of you. I love you Myles. Fly high buddy.

Myles, to know him is to love him. My lifelong friend, from diapers and on. My go-to guy best friend. You truly had the most contagious smile. Blonde hair and blue eyes, a stud for sure. A person who always checked up on you, no matter what the situation was. A person who you could talk to about anything under the sun. A person who gave the best and realest advice, sometimes the advice being not what you wanted to hear but what you needed to hear. A person whose energy and upbeat personality was an instant sense of relief to be around.
I, along with so many others, are so fortunate to be blessed with such your pure and loving soul. Although your time here on Earth was cut way too short, for the 20 years you spent here, you lived life to the fullest.
I am so grateful to have a friend like you. You are everything a good friend is: sweet, thoughtful, compassionate, driven, and let’s not forget…brutally honest. You always found the positive side in everything and that is something that I will try my best to live by.
This feeling of not understanding why you were taken too soon will forever be a mystery. However, until we meet again, I will live each day honoring you and our friendship. Anytime I hear the song “Snow” by Zach Bryan, I will think of you. When anything about fitness and lifting comes into conversation, I will think of you. Each time I eat a yummy steak and potatoes, I will think of you. Sunsets will now remind me of you because Lord knows you love them. So many of my thoughts resonate back to you and who you are as a person.
We will continue garage parties, nights spent by the fire talking until ungodly hours, and of course days spent at the lake, your most favorite place. Although now you are not physically here with us, we will feel your presence through the stories we share and the memories we have. Your drive and determination for everything in life is something so special to have witnessed. Life will never ever be the same. Everything our group, that you kept ever so close, does will be for you. I love you so big Myles Andrew- my favorite angel.

Myles,
I remember the first time I saw you. It was in a chapter meeting and you had such a serious face while telling the pledges and I something along the lines of us needing to be more serious. I could’ve sworn you were the scariest person in the room. It was during your prompt of beating you in a game of chess that I got to see the silly fun side of you. 9 games later and I still didn’t beat you. In return you made me watch queens gambit and would talk to me about the episodes in meetings. I still never got to beat you in a game. We talked about everything that day, your lake house and hunting, how you would steal road signs, and how you believed luck wasn’t real and how it was really when preparation met timing.
You looked out for me in every single way a person could. When I felt stressed about something you would text me and ask what was wrong and made sure I was okay. When we couldn’t figure out our calc 2 quiz and just laid on the floor of law library counting the ceiling tiles and laughing. If I remember there’s 36 going down. When you would stay up to study with me even though you claimed you NEEDED sleep or else you would start eating people and that you had to sleep to save me from being eaten. When you would always claim I was a damsel in distress that you needed to save from everything. When in Toronto, you made sure to walk next to me cause you claimed I was so small I would get lost if you didn’t look out for me. When you took care of a lady that was yelling at me while working the bills game cause I didn’t know how to react to it. When you finished your exam and stayed 30 minutes in school to help me study because I had the same one in the next class section. When you would drag me to class or Capen to made sure I stayed on top of my work. When you stayed on FaceTime with me when I was at my friends house which was so loud you could barely hear anything but you wanted to make sure I was able to fix my python code. When a girl was staring and talking about me which made me anxious and you told me to stop worrying about what other people think because it only mattered what I thought of myself and what the people who I cared about thought of me. You made sure I was okay and I’ll forever be grateful for you.
Although we only knew each other for a year, you were someone who I can’t remember how life was before you. You knew how to make me laugh and knew when you needed to be serious with me. In the car ride back from the bills game you showed me your VSCO and tinder and asked me to help you make them better and I sat and laughed as. How you threw up with me outside of Sweethome while sitting in Edward’s car after PBA. When you tried to convince me to pull an all nighter the day before a midterm and to just drink red bull because you swore 3 of those could replace a night of sleep.
Most of all I’ll miss our conversations. I’ll miss you telling me about stoicism and how you can’t control what happens, but you can control how you react to a situation. How you didn’t believe in manifestation and said “you and your little rocks are always after me” referring to crystals which I never owned but u claimed I just kept them well hidden. How I would say something and you would respond with logic instead of letting me live in my delusions. How you would say caffeine recommendations are just recommendations. How when I called you psychotic you would laugh. How when I couldn’t figure out a homework question you would say “its just numbers, you add and subtract them” or “its just circuits, solve for electricity”.
Maybe one of these days I’ll finally get around to reading a book on stoicism. Even though you’re gone, I know you really aren’t. As I write this, I know you’re watching me and laughing over all the memories we had. I’ll forever be grateful for everything you did for me and I know you’re watching out for me up there. You will forever be the logic to my delusions <3
With love,
Bella

"Nothing is timeless, everything dies, even stars. It is a fundamental portion of anything's existence. If it is given the opportunity to exist, then it must have a point where it can no longer exist. Everything comes and goes. It is life. Know that and cherish what you have in the moment, but don't be afraid to lose it because it is inevitable." - Myles Pauquette
We sadly lost one of our brothers, Myles Pauquette, this semester. He was a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering who joined in Spring 2022 with the Phi Beta class. Our chapter may have only had a little over a year with him but he made a vast impression on all our members. Myles was easy to talk to and willing to speak his mind. He was an old soul, who could make anyone smile. Throughout his time in OT, he was determined to make our chapter a more enjoyable environment. Myles was our foundation, our soul, and we will miss him forever. - Mu Gamma Theta Tau

I heard so many stories Myles (and Hollis) for months prior to ever meeting them. I heard how rambunctious, funny, and wildly carefree they were. My favorite story is how he wiped his oily salami covered fingers on (his Uncle) John’s bedsheets and then started touching John’s busted up lip from where the sailboat mast hit him earlier that day. Hahaha! So meeting Myles for the first time at the lake I was surprised to see how caring and mature he was, until Nick or someone would get him going, then it’s like I got a preview into young silly Myles that I heard so much about. In my short time of knowing him, I have two distinctly favorite memories.
First, was attending Myles’ football game where my husband made a poster with Myles name and jersey number on it, trying to embarrass him as much as possible from the sidelines. After yelling to get his attention, Myles saw it from the sidelines and gave us the funniest look and just started laughing.
Second, was at my wedding he came over to my husband (his cousin) and awkwardly asked if he could dance with me. Which was so sweet, it still warms my heart and tbh makes me laugh to think about.
I am so deeply upset to think Myles has left this family and community that very much loves him so much. I’ve never seen such a large showing of people to visitation like I did for Myles and I’m not sure I ever will again. He has made such an impact on so many and it brings such consolation to know that he’s created so many memories that will forever live on.

To my nephew Myles,
You will be missed by all that have ever met you. Words cannot explain how incredibly hard it is for me to think that I will not see you this summer at the lake. There is no doubt you were a very special person put into all our lives to make us all better.
I will miss your little swagger and confidence without a doubt. I was so impressed at the young man you had become. You had a way of listening, asking informative questions and making me smile.
Your time might have been limited here with us, but your impact will last forever. I am certain that you are an amazing angel watching over us all!

Im so sorry and saddened for your family and for all of us who know and love Myles. Your boys are everyone’s favorite cousins to see at any gathering; kind to all, fun-loving, athletic, intelligent, just all American boys (now men). Myles did not waste a minute in life, always on the move and truly living life to the fullest. He’s left an impression on so many. I hope you can find peace in knowing what a wonderful life you provided for him and the everlasting memories.
Love Alex

Myles was the best person I ever met. He possessed so many amazing qualities that I have never found in anyone else. He brought me into his friend group in high school and left the most amazing group of people. From nightly Facetimes to summers at the lake house he always knew how to have a good time. I will miss seeing his smiling face every day and getting my giant bear hugs the few times of year we were both home from college.

Myles would come to our house when Thomas would have sleepovers with his buddies. He loved our dog and would give her lots of attention when he was here. He would always help out when it was time to clean up from whatever adventures the boys would get into. He was always well mannered and funny. My heart goes out to your entire family.

Myles was one of those athletes you don’t forget. I had the privilege to be his track & field coach for 3 years, and during that time, he was more of a coach than anything. Myles would jump right in to help any teammate who didn’t understand something or who didn’t feel confident to try something. He wasn’t the biggest fan of running, in fact he would start almost every practice asking when it was time to work on field events, but he was still a key relay team member as his talents spread wide.
Myles was the best peer mentor a coach could ask for. To this day, I still think of ways he would explain skills to his teammates when I am working with my athletes. He was truly one of a kind.
You will be missed, Myles. Rest easy.

Myles,
From the moment I started playing football with you I knew that we had something special. It didn’t take long for the memories to start adding up. I cannot tell you the amount of gas money I owe you from high school drives and gatherings. When Connor Hoagland asked me to find a co-worker I could count on, I instantly thought of you. You were the guy I would know you would always be at work and I could have countless conversations with. From every night spent at the lake house or your garage to long hours at work, I thought of you as a brother. You were always the first guy at my side and would be the last to leave. I reached out to you in many times of need. I was so incredibly grateful for the support you gave me. I know we will meet again some day but until then, I love you.
Love, Logan

Myles from flag football till now you have always been a wonderful friend and brother to Logan. We will miss your contagious smile, the wonderful person you are and all the stories that Logan would come home and tells us about work or all the fun he had at the lake. Some of my favorite stories are when you end up telling Logan if he would stop complaining and get back to work it would get done faster. Fly high Myles and continue to watch over everyone. Until we meet again.

Dear Pauquette Family,
You all have been in my heart and thoughts and prayers.
I have a memory of Myles from when he was a little boy. He could not have been more than three. Standing in a chair at our sink at the office doing up the dishes. He always wanted to help while Mom finished up her work.
I can close my eyes and see that adorable smile, oh that smile. I know that picture will always be in my heart. God bless you all.

It has been an honor to be part of the extended family and share memories of a gifted, young man. The lake will never be the same, but every campfire will glow with the remembrance of his smile and quick wit. Rest in peace. ❤️Peggy

This is such a cute story that I wanted to share:
Myles was about 6 years old and we were at the little League field watching Jacob. We had our dog with us and little Myles came over and plopped down next to the dog and started petting him. He sat there for a few minutes and looked up at us and said
" I have a dog too! Her name is Trixie, and half her face is white and half her face is brown. My dad calls her a two-faced bitch"
As we gasped...
He looked at us and said
"I can say that because that just means female dog"
He was always so matter of fact.
We will be thinking and praying for you and your family in they days and months ahead.
Much love,
The Corlew family

To my nephew Myles,
I watched you grow into a strong, intelligent, caring, and philosophical young man. So goofy. So mature. I can relate. We’ve shared so many great times. I’m filled with joyful memories over the 81 seasons we had together. Whether it be Easter egg hunts in the spring, swimming at your family’s camp on Lake St. Catherine in the summer, big family Thanksgiving dinners in the autumn, or sledding parties at Gramma Char’s in the winter. It’s also the little times that stick out like Hollis and you playing Lego Star Wars and Hollis impatiently telling you to “catch up” and you saying, “Hollis! I’m doing my best.” That was you; always doing your best.
I have more profound memories. In the fall of 2019, in my basement gym, you were showing me what types of exercises you were doing in the weight room for football season. I was quite impressed with your enthusiasm for weightlifting. I felt another level of kinship. You stopped being a boy and stated to become a young man before my eyes. You began a journey of making yourself stronger, mind and body, through dedication and perseverance. You were well on the path of solving the “riddle of steel.”
I’m so very appreciative that you were a great cousin to and influence on Liam. Again, the little things. Simply throwing the football and showing him how to pivot at the waist to generate more power on the release. Gaming online, even for a few minutes some evenings. Talking about hunting. Most recently, Liam showing you how to shoot skeet. You always included him. He looked up to you. There is no better young role model for my son than you.
My only hope is that I was as good an uncle to you as you were a good nephew to me. My greatest sadness that pains me to my core lies in the simple fact we will never push each other off the floating dock into Lake St. Catherine ever again. I am going to miss you.
Your legacy will be one of happiness, kindness, and empathy. I am so very proud to call you my nephew.
With love,
Uncle Bart

Myles was an amazing young man. Genuine and kind to everyone. He was someone I looked forward to seeing in school. Never in my room though, since I run the ISS program. Myles was the kind of friend every friend should be lucky enough to have in their life. My daughter, Brynna spent a lot time with Myles last summer. She went on and on about how smart he was and their conversations. You mentioned that Myles was an old soul and I’ve said that of Brynna as well, that’s probably why they got along so well. He even came to our house to help pack the U-haul to take Brynna back to college. Myles will always have a special place in our hearts. We know we have a guardian angel above and he is holding hands with his Grandpa and his Aunt. Sincerely, Shelly Sady (Brynna’s Mom)

A note to Myles from Aunt Nancy Huntington
Thank you for being in our lives. You brought joy, laughter, and youthful wisdom well beyond your years to our family and friends. Each memory we shared together as a family is precious and will lap in our minds like water at the lake’s edge, ebbing and flowing there forever in our lives. Some of my most precious memories were our times together at the beach, the lake and around the Christmas Tree. I hold them dear and think of them as warm hugs. We are so very privileged to have had such a beautiful soul in our family. We will say and share your name often and with loving ease as you shared your life with us. That beautiful smile and those blue eyes will shine bright through every sunset I watch.
May you rest in peace and know how very much you are loved

Myles was a guiding figure in my life and a true friend. He was the friend everyone needed and he was special to everyone from the first time they met him.
Myles always knew what to say, at exactly the right time. He would do anything for anyone, without hesitating. He instantly lit up any room he walked into with his infectious smile and his outgoing personality.
I will always remember Myles for the caring and loving person he was. I’ll always remember the time when he ran all the way up to my doorstep to give me a happy meal just to see the smile on my face. I’ll always remember the time he picked me flowers and took his time choosing the “perfect ones” because I was having a rough day. I’ll always remember the number of times we would call each other just to talk about life. We would stay up late on the phone doing homework that was probably overdue and during the summer he made sure I stayed up to watch “The Lion King” with him over the phone because he was shocked that I hadn’t ever seen it. I will never stop missing Myles, but I will hold onto our memories forever.
I find comfort in the fact that he made sure to live his life to the fullest- Myles was never one to not take opportunities and go without speaking his mind. I will always play the list of song recommendations he gave me and every time I hear them, my mind will instantly go to him. I am extremely thankful to have met Myles, as he has changed my life in so many ways. His wisdom, memory, and love will never be forgotten, as we will all hold him in our hearts forever.

In the spring of 2002, on a family weekend at York Beach Maine, we learned a new baby would arrive in December of that year. On December 2, 2002, Deb, Hollis, age 3, and Grandma Mimi Pauquette, and Grandma Char enjoyed the Christmas lights in Saratoga. Two days later,I got the call that Myles was ready to meet the outside world. He waited until I was at the hospital to make his appearance and I was one of the first to hold him.
Myles was the center of attention at his first Christmas at Grandma Char's. He was so handsome in his maroon and white outfit I had chosen with pride for him to wear.
My ONLY negative experience was him driving the golf cart out of the garage while I was watching him when he was probably five or six years old. I remember screaming and taking the key away and Myles quickly got off the golf cart.
I am so thankful to have attended almost all of Myles’ athletic and scholastic events. If they were out of town Deb or Mike made sure I had a ride.
Flashforward to March 25, 2023. Deb, Mike, Aunt Hannah, and Myles went to dinner at Sweet Carolines, the evening before Myles was to return to the University of Buffalo. We came back to Grandma Char’s and we visited a bit with Myles taking a selfie of himself with Aunt Hannah's little dog Rex. Myles’s comment was “Handsome Men Club, a club of two.” As Myles readied to leave, Myles and Grandma Char had a BIG hug! Little did I know this would be our last.
My first meeting after with Hollis was “Myles would want us to be STRONG and share good memories” and that is what we all should do to honor Myles.

As i was going through all of my memories i couldn’t help but realize that almost all of the pictures and videos I have of Myles are so goofy and fun, i guess that’s part of the reason we called him Smyles.
I will never forget all of the memories we have together. i’m upset that i didn’t take more photos when we were making memories, but who could ever predict something like this. the world is so unfair, but you knew that. thank you for all of your words of wisdom and kindness, i can see now just how many people they have helped. you were such a unique and bright soul and you are so unforgettable.
I will never forget my first golfing experience where you helped teach my how to drive the golf cart so I could practice for my drivers test coming up…definitely a scary experience for the both of us.
How whenever I went into Mr. Hardins room, it was inevitable someone would bring up how far behind you were in problem sets, like zoom record night where you tried to finish a quarters worth of assignments in hours. Truly unforgettable.
Thank you for all of our deep conversations and for helping me get through tough times. You truly were the best.
Until we meet again,
Baylor

I did not know Myles well as my kids were not in the same grade. But I knew of him and when I became a track mom - only then did I get to see and understand Myles just a little bit. Myles was not loud and boisterous on the sidelines - he was quiet and determined. He was always willing to go the extra mile for another teammate and take them under his wing and mentor them. He worked hard and always tried to better himself. His smile was genuine and true.
When a young life that had so much promise is cut short, we often ask ourselves why. I find that I personally take comfort in knowing that God must have bigger plans up there for you. I think that as an angel you will be extremely watchful over many people.
Myles, thank you for the many great photo opportunities. Thank you for always having a smile on your face. May you rest in peace and fly high. You will be missed.

Myles,
You were one of the most dedicated and driven people I know. I’ll forever cherish the many hours we spent during mornings, study halls, and after school doing calc homework in Hardin's (and then later again at Jenna’s). We liked to fake argue but you were always there when I needed you and you always could cheer me up when I was down. Whether it was sending me a random meme or trying to distract me when I was overwhelmed you were always such a bright light. I remember being at Ryan’s party and I was extremely anxious, and you came up to me and showed me how to find the big dipper in the night sky and it made me feel better. I’ll forever look at the stars and remember you. Thanks for the countless coup games I could never win, the many long conversations and tangents we went on when we were supposed to be working, and all of the memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Fly high Myles Anne

Shine Your Light: A Tribute to Myles A. Pauquette by Aunt Hannah
I loved Myles like my own son. As a child, he was always smiling and up for an adventure. Whether it be a hike with Uncle Bart and I along with his big brother Hollis and older cousins, rough housing on the dock at the lake or sledding on Grandma Char’s hill. He loved a good dog and cat and was gentle to all. He would make his Grandma Char so happy when he would send her a picture of a sunset. I have hundreds of photos and memories of this kind, sweet boy who had grown into such a fine young man and will cherish them forever.
One of my favorite stories was when Myles was expecting the arrival of a new little cousin. He would often put his little toddler hand on my growing belly and rub it. When asked what we should name the baby he said, “Puddin’ Tail”. While we chose Liam instead, Puddin’ Tail was a close second:) Myles would grow to become a wonderful big cousin to Liam. Passing the football outside with Liam, sledding, talking about hunting, lake time, or even in the evenings to spend some virtual time with Liam.
We were fortunate to bring Myles along on a family trip to a dude ranch in Arizona in 2019. We shared mountain biking, horseback riding, pickleball, playing pool at the saloon, the Sonoran Desert, a visit to the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, and a trip down into a copper mine. We luckily picked a ranch with all-inclusive food options as Myles was fifteen at the time and could really pack away the groceries. He would take two or three trips back to the breakfast buffet to refill his plate most mornings. At dinner time, his Uncle Bart would usually pass on dessert options but Myles formulated a plan to get Uncle Bart’s dessert because one dessert just wasn’t enough. Myles said something to the effect of when the waitstaff came to take Bart’s dessert order, whatever the second dessert Myles wanted Myles would say, “That sounds delicious Uncle Bart!” When Uncle Bart’s dessert arrived it was passed to Myles who had a big smile on his face and was anxiously awaiting his second dessert.
In the past few days, we have heard many wonderful stories about Myles. It’s clear to see that Myles showed his light intensely even though it was for just a short time. My hope is that from this darkness of Myles leaving this world, we honor him by shining our light everyday moving forward. Everyone has a different light but the world needs that. Myles’ father, Michael, is showing his light by making sweet maple syrup that families everywhere will use when gathering and making memories with their family and friends. Myles’ mother, Debra, is showing her light to loving the elderly population at Holbrook’s as if they were her own mother and father. Myles found his light at an early age, welcoming and including everyone. So remember, whatever your light is, shine it brightly, honor Myles by doing what Myles did best, making the world a better place in the short time he was here.

Myles was not just a typical or average twenty-year-old man and I’m so honored to have known him even for the time we went to school. He was a loving, caring, fun-to-be-around guy, the most accepting person I ever met, like a brother, a son, and a role model to all the people he was around. He was a ray of sunshine on a rainy day and made it even brighter even when it was sunny. He supported people for who they were no matter what and that made him unique from many people I had met before him. I always was judged for having a speech problem, and for having a learning disability, but when I told Myles he didn’t judge, instead accepted me more. I will forever cherish the words of advice he said to me that day. He said “Ok, why does it matter that you have a learning disability or the fact you have speech problems? To me, you are unique just the way you are, and I am honored that you trust me enough to tell me. Just know that I will always have your back and be there for you every step of the way.” Even to this very moment as I write that I can still hear his voice telling me those words. I will forever be grateful for the times he let me throw the football with him and his bros. I will always follow the advice he gave me about being me and embracing the things that make me special. But if I had to say one memory, I will forever remember most is every dance I attended he went out of his way to ask me to have a dance with him or even include me in pictures with him and some of his other friends. For that I am grateful. I can say without a doubt I speak for most if not all of the Class of 2021 when I say we all love you, we will miss you, and that you were taken way too soon, but one thing is for sure you will forever be a part of us and will not ever be forgotten.
Rest in Peace Myles and see you someday, this isn't goodbye, it is I will see you again someday.
P.S. know that you were like a little brother to me even though I am only a little over two months older than you and never told you.

Q: How did you meet Myles?
A: I met Myles on the school bus when I moved to Granville in 2015. He was 4 years younger than me, but he had a quick wit and personality I appreciated dearly. I used to jokingly call Myles my son and remind him to tell me if anyone was giving him trouble. Instead he ended up helping me, by listening to me and being the caring a thoughtful person he was; and always will be. Myself and many others miss him dearly.

I am beyond grateful to have known Myles. He truly is one of a kind, I will never forget his positivity, selflessness and wisdom. I have so many amazing memories with Myles whether that’s golfing together, watching the sunset or listening to all kinds of music in the car. I’ll never forget your amazing blue eyes and your dimples when you would smile. Rest in peace, you are so loved.

Today I spoke with Deb and stated I had no words for her during this time. I can only pray that the family finds peace and sees that they as parents did a job well done. Nothing about this is easy, however, the person that Myles will be remembered for speaks volumes.

Q: How did you meet Myles?
A: Myles took me under his wing my sophomore year of football and was the big brother I never had. He accepted me even though I was younger than him and in general was an amazing friend. From there we had spent countless days hanging out at the lake or golfing. I’ll never forget Myles and what he’s done for me.

Myles, I will always remember these picture-taking moments fondly. I’m so grateful I was able to capture them. The picture I took of all you boys playing football at sunset….. I almost didn’t go into the village that evening, but something told me I needed to go and take that picture. I am so glad I did. I think we are all still laughing a little over what Dylan did during a different picture of all of you from that evening. You will be missed young man. Love, The Dickinson Family

To be at a loss for words is an understatement. Myles, you were quite literally everybody’s friend. Whether it be coming over to my desk and saying, “Araeh what you need to do is chill out” or offering me help on Hardin’s homework, you were always there if anyone needed you. I remember being so scared in kindergarten when you joked about breaking my pinky finger. One of the funniest memories is that I learned what the middle finger meant because of you. You got in trouble for flipping someone off (also in kindergarten) and I then hid my hand under the desk, raised my middle finger, and asked you what it meant. You were the only one who offered to teach me how to properly lift weights when I was new to the track team. I remember when coach Irion made you race me in track, and I turned to you and said “this is the most unfair thing ever”. You jokingly smiled, and then sprinted to the end more quickly than I ever could’ve. When the Araeh pins were a trend in our AP class, you put one on your shirt immediately. I remember writing “Hey Myles” on a Pringle’s can in 10th grade because I thought you were so cute and funny. I never gave it to you, (thank god because that would’ve been embarrassing) but I know if I did you would’ve just laughed, in the most non-judgmental way possible. One of my favorite memories is when you tried to teach me how to do a push-up in Burton’s class. At first I didn’t think you understood how incapable I was of doing one, but now I realize you were just so positive and encouraging, that you just wanted to see me try. I’ll miss hearing how you’re doing at college when my dad and your mom talk, and I’ll never understand how the world could’ve taken such a beautiful soul so soon. Thank you for making such a huge impact on so many lives while you were here, but I can’t wait to see you again someday. Rest in peace Myles, you truly deserve the most beautiful afterlife there is.❤️
