    Gene, the kids and I are so sorry for your loss in one of the most amazing men we’ve ever known and had such pride in calling him our cousin too!

    I know that words just cannot express how hard it is for each of you right now. Just know that you are loved and we are here for you as you begin this journey of taking each day at a time.

    May Vance rest in eternal peace 🙏❤️

    Daddy its been almost 4 days and I just can’t picture my life without you. I can’t go on I just want you back. I just want to call you I just want to talk to you. I just want you. Daddy this hurts. This pain hurts. Can you please come back for me. Can you please take me with you. Its so hard to look in the mirror all I see is you. I talk to you all day everyday and its just not the same. Daddy please come back. Whether its in my dreams, or something please come back to me

    Vance Gautt, was a good man. I didn’t know him well, but I had enough time around him that I really knew he had a good heart. We had short conversations and enjoyed life for a few minutes . His joy of living was tangible. I am honored to have met him and will continue to hold all his love ones in my prayers.. Thank you for making me smile Vance. Next time I make a green smoothie I will smile even bigger.
