Cordell Young

I want to thank God for loaning you to me for 32 yrs.. Want to thank him for trusting me.. I miss you soooo much pudding… I have found a new normal without you here in the flesh!! I love you son!! Keep watching over me as you did here on earth! Mommy loves you..

Family by birth, siblings in nature & friends by choice. My biggest poetry fan. You helped me develop my voice. We would always exchange the things we wrote.
In my heart, you will forever be linked with granny’s house, living room forts, and the power of family and friendship, with our cousins, all rolled up into one. Me spending countless hours at the house with you, Auntie Ghetto Fab lol, Rick & Will. The times I didn’t know you were at Uncle Red’s house and you’d run down the stairs & tackle me with a hug when you heard my voice lol
You were such an incredible force in my life. Brave, sweet, ambitious, loyal & always just a call away. We are all broken because you are gone, yet whole because you were here.
I thought we’d have so many decades together until the end. All of us cousins traveling the world together.
My cousin and I planned to change the world. We had mountains to climb and treasures to find. We spoke on building homeless shelters that also provides services to help them rebuild their lives. I realize now that the greatest gift was having this incredible person in my life.
There is a hole in our family where you used to stand. There’s a hole in my heart for which I never planned. I will miss you every day until we meet again.
I am who I am because I was lucky enough to have you in my life, Cordell. You will travel with me all the days of my life.
You were a great source of love in my life; today mourning you is the greatest loss of my life. I am weak because you are gone, but stronger because you were here.
Cousin of mine, you are gone too soon. You’re a part of me that I don’t know how to live without. I don’t remember life without you by my side!
You always dreamed big dreams and inspired me to do the same. Your impact will continue to be felt in the world through everyone connected to you. I’ll follow up on your goals and make sure all your dreams come true. My chocolate baby, I love you!
