PREST0N WAS 0NE 0F MY ABS0LUTE BEST FRiENDS, HE WAS L0YAL AND ALWAYS D0WN F0R ANYTHiNG. HE WAS THE QUIET TYPE UNLESS YOU REALLY KNEW HIM, HE HAD THIS SILLY LITTLE GIGGLE WHEN HE WAS DRUNK. PRESTON AND ONE OF HIS BEST FRIENDS CHAD THAT HE HAD KNOWN SINCE 5TH GRADE USED TO ALWAYS SMILE AND THEN HAVE THE STRAIGHTEST FACE EVER. I REMEMBER WHEN HE USED TO HAVE A MUSHROOM CUT, AND THEN HE SWITCHED IT UP AND STARTED SHAVING HIS HEAD. HE USED TO HAVE A LITTLE LOW-RIDER S-10 THAT HE WASHED EVERY DAY, LITERALLY. HE HAD S0 MUCH G0iNG F0R HiM. I REMEMBER ONE DAY HE WAS AT ROCKS POND WITH MY FAMILY AND RIDING ON THE GOLF CART OUT IN THE WOODS, HE GOT A LITTLE DOT OF MUD ON HIS SHOES AND HE WAS GOING CRAZY, TALKING ABOUT "i MIGHT AS WELL JUMP IN THE MUD NOW." HE WAS THE CLEANEST NEAT FREAK I EVER MET. HE ALWAYS DRANK "JOOSE" WHEN HE FIRST STARTED DRINKING IT, HE CAME OUT TO ROCKS POND ONE NIGHT AND GOT ME TO TRY IT. HE USED TO ALWAYS COME OVER THE HOUSE AND HANG OUT, ONE NIGHT A BUNCH OF US WENT SWIMMING IN THE EDISTO RIVER TILL 5 iN THE MORNING. WE HAD THE BEST OF TIMES. ILL NEVER FORGET MY FRIEND FELL OUT OF HIS Z71, IT WAS SO HIGH, SHE WAS GETTING OUT AND FELL STRAIGHT ON THE GROUND. BASICALLY, I HAVE THOUSANDS OF MEMORIES, TO LAST A LIFETIME. PRESTON IS IN A BETTER PLACE NOW, I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM. I MISS HIM MORE THAN ANYTHING AND HEAVEN NEEDED HIM MORE THAN WE DID, WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.
