“There will never be another person like you. You were always there whenever any of us needed you, never hesitating to lend a helping hand or offer your support. You truly were one of the best of us. It’s so hard to function knowing you’re gone. Your love, your kindness, your strength, and the way you showed up for your family will never be forgotten. We will carry your memory with us forever, and your legacy will live on through your children and everyone whose life you touched. Rest easy, Polk.”

“Your death hurt the family deeply, cuz. You were that one cousin everyone loved and could always count on. Whether you were fixing cars, checking on animals, or simply being the amazing father your children needed, you did everything with love and a good heart. I'm hurting because you left a void that can never be filled. I find myself asking God why He took you when we still needed you here. It’s hard to understand, and it’s even harder to accept.”
