“Some souls are too beautiful for this world and so they leave”
Bailey is one of these beautiful souls.
It was a beautiful June day when Bailey was out on his motorcycle. He was about 750m from turning into his girlfriend’s driveway when a 62-year-old man, who made a conscious choice to drive with alcohol in his system, decided to do a U-turn at the crest of a hill on a 2-lane highway with double yellow lines entering and impeding Bailey’s lane of traffic. According to the reconstruction expert, Bailey applied his brakes heavily, causing skid marks and did everything possible but could not avoid a collision and was killed instantly.
Bailey was a kind, compassionate, and loving human with the biggest and purest heart. He was an avid outdoorsman and exceptional baseball player. He had the ability of making you feel like the most important person and was everyone’s best friend. Bailey had a goofy laugh and gave the most amazing hugs. One should consider themselves blessed if ever gifted with one of his hugs. To witness the outpouring of love and the many lives this young man had an effect and influence on in his 24 short years is beyond measure.
We are proud and honored to have been gifted & blessed with such an amazing soul.
Miss you. Love you.
