A Reflection single handedly keeping the visor alive and in style mostly feral all the while with so many gifts for the rest of us: Gathering, Fellowship, Love and Laughter. Gentle Kindness with a bear-warm Hug. cigar in one hand and a glass in the other, a Toast to a heart so large and a Brunson-sized hole left behind Grateful he was part of our lives No matter the time day or night He would drive to be in our sight What does it mean to be a man Dirt on his shirt, tool in his hand Fixing my car, fixing my heart Fixing dinner, hey grab my lighter Let’s have a cigar Mix me a drink, you know the way Jim Beam and Pepsi max, ice out the tray Covered in camo At the break of dawn Watching the sun rise from our stand Deep in the woods, coffee in hand Even if we didn’t see a thing moving I saw God with him and we knew it From his inception He was a magnet for human connection Love hit you harder than an elbow from the top rope wrestling Making an everlasting impression We were destined To befriended By a man who’s greatest gift was friendship You could find him in the woods bathing in the creek Or rod in hand, reeling in a monster fish at the beach Tending to his garden and feeding the birds To sitting in his chair with his dogs not saying a word His bread and butter was Bread and butter Spread so immaculate and delicious it would make you kiss your mother “I-Fly” was on his license plate Drove it like he stole it But now he flies through Heavens gates Streets of gold doing donuts Subwoofer pumping that bass so loud St Peter yelling, “Hey brother turn it down!” But he says “if the music’s too loud, you’re too old”.. “I been “Going Deaf” since 20 years old!” A memorial service will be held at 2PM, Saturday, December 6, 2025 at First Presbyterian Church in Lewis Hall, Salisbury, NC.
