Jacinta Parris wrote a sympathy message

“Sly was truly one of the most generous and kind-hearted souls I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. As my neighbor for many years, he was always ready to lend a hand, extend kindness, or simply show up when it mattered most. He leaves behind a beautiful wife and children, and I pray that his presence continues to surround them and that the Lord offers them comfort, strength, and peace—not only during this time, but for the journey ahead. His absence will be deeply felt. Fly high!”
