Forever my brother
This one hit hard bro! Didn’t know the last time we saw and spoke was going to be our last ! You took me in at my lowest when I had no where to go and at the lowest point in my life , I’m really going to miss you bro , this one real hit home .. 💔 rest easy pops watch over me pop love you bro forever til we meet again 💔….
I remember the times when he used to take me all over the place on the scooters in Vietnam and the day he took me fishing we had only a stick, string and a hook but he still made the most with what we had
Those nights we would climb out of the window and sit on the roof and just listen to music or talk. You were an amazing uncle who always listened to your nephews interests and supported them. You were always thoughtful and caring and so damn smart. I love you little brother.
Man Bao.. there’s so much to say.. You’ve been my best friend since we were kids at 14yrs old , I remember you first met from our neighbor Chris who introduced me to you, we use to walk to Del Vallejo middle school every morning. Even though we didn’t really hangout at school because our schedules were different haha we still hung out after school & I remember when we both cut our hairs into the Mohawk style thinking we looked all cool 😂 lol you were my one & only best friend my brother you always had my back no matter what you never judged me who I was how I acted or what was wrong with me. You never once back stabbed me or talked bad behind me never! You were just one solid friend that you can trust..You loved me for who I was & that’s just the person you are, we had so many good times together so many good laughs. Only time we did ever get into a big argument was one night at your house for your birthday, we got a little too drunk & both acted dumb but we both apologized an hour after & made up .. that’s just the bond we both had. & I’m going to miss it. I know we haven’t seen each other for so long because we adults get busy but I wish I was therento hangout with you more like we use to, I’m really going to miss you a lot. Just remember you are loved so much by everyone down here so don’t forget that! Fly high say hi to my momma for me 🕊️🙏🏽🕊️🕊️♥️
Our last time seeing you while we celebrated Miguel's birthday on 06/22, you took charge of singing happy birthday. You were always showing up for all family events.

This day I learned what a Nomad Burger is. Bao took us up the mountain to Cedar Glen Malt Shop. That was his favorite place for a peanut butter burger and a malt (always with extra malt).
Since then, we’ve taken my nephew, little brother, and Carter. I am so grateful for all of the beautiful memories Bao brought me although I do wish he had stayed longer.
This is the first video I ever recorded of Bao. We talked about this moment a few years later and Bao was indeed scared…he just didn’t want me to know. We laughed a lot because at that point I knew he really didn’t like snakes and spiders.
We would go on jobs and you’d be knocked out then spring to action when we got to the customer this time we had to go an hour away and we took the small compressor because the work truck was down and we did it by hand and then we laughed and cackled like crazy midgets when we got it on we thought we were pros but high key we were man jobs aint gonna be the same listening to music isn’t the same and working alone while looking to my side isn’t the same as working with you then going home to do more stupid things I lost a brother, coworker, friend, someone who I thought would always be there our talks would always be insightful even when we were arguing whether it would be better to bang a really retarded chick or beat a baby seal then laughing our asses off after coming to the conclusion that they’d make the same sound definitely not the stuff everyone was gonna like but we didn’t give a damn you were definitely one of a kind in my book I’ll visit you as often as I could in this life til the next I’ll sneak you a redbull cause man you’re gonna need those wings, love you bro.
