AJ and my daughter were friends, and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him a couple times. He always had a smile on his face, was so sweet to talk to and so respectful. This is so so sad to hear of this. Please know AJ is in our Saviors arms, and may He comfort and guide you all thru this heartbreaking time.
