I feel such grief over the loss of my good friend. Declan went to school with my spouse Forrest and I, and it was no surprise that when we were reunited years following graduation that our friendship picked up right where it left off. Declan was a frequent guest in our home, as well as many road trips far and wide. He was one of the funniest, kindest, most intelligent people that I have ever known...and the only person that I knew 100% could tell me which song Phish was playing at any given moment. Forrest and myself, along with our children, we'll miss him terribly. We are eternally grateful for the time we were blessed to spend with Declan, and wish peace to the family that he's left behind. Until we meet again, old friend
