His quick wit and sense of humour were definitely like no other. He enjoyed spending time with his family, friends and deeply loved his mama. He was amazing at sports, enjoyed fishing and took pride in his culture. He loved the outdoors, barbecuing, boating, swimming and his dog Lowkey. He was a wonderful dad, amazing brother, loving son, awesome nephew and the best caring uncle. J.R truly loved his family and bringing people together. He made a big impact on whoever he met, and never changed who he was wherever he went. "
