He was always starting new projects, whether for his home or just for his hobbies.
He was a dedicated husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and an amazing friend. He was loved by many, and he will be missed by all.
His life and memory will live on through his wife, Debra Labayo; children, Wen Labayo, Kai Labayo and Akina Labayo; stepchildren, Clarissa Mills, Elysia Bradley, Nicole Bradley and Xavier Peterson; and countless others.
