In the quiet corners where memories dwell,
A brother’s laughter, a bittersweet spell.
Through shadows and struggles, you fought every day,
Yet the weight of the world took your light away.

Your beautiful smile, like the dawn's gentle light,
Could brighten the darkest, most sorrowful night.
With warmth in your eyes and a spirit so free,
You shared all your joy, your heart's melody.

In moments of silence, your spirit still sings,
A testament to love, the joy that it brings.
Though battles were hard, and the road was rough,
You showed us the meaning of strength, of love.

The nights may have whispered their secrets of pain,
But your heart held a kindness that still will remain.
In the echoes of sorrow, we cherish your name,
A spark in our lives that will never be tamed.

So here’s to the memories, the laughter we shared,
To the brother who mattered, who truly cared.
Though addiction may claim what the heart cannot see,
In the depths of our grief, you are forever free.

Rest now, dear brother, your struggle is done,
In the light of the stars, may you always run.
With love that transcends, in the stories we weave,
You’re a part of our hearts, in the love we believe.
