Bear

 

We had the privilege to love Bear his whole life. Bear had so many amazing qualities to him and had the best personality. He was a protector, a lover, the best companion, the most loyal friend, the craziest wrestler,  and most of all our forever family member. Bear loved his countless belly rubs, car rides, our socks, discussions, playing fetch, watching us do yard work and most of all, he loved his brother Jeremiah and sister Frankie.  His concern for his family was always his top priority. He would pace the house throughout the nights to keep tabs on all of us and to be sure we were ok. His favorite spot was the front door, he was going to see who came in and who went out rather we moved his bed or not. Bear had the softest intuition to our feelings and was always right there beside us to cheer any of us up when needed and he always knew when one of us were bored and needed him to get us off our butts. His love for nature was unmeasurable. He loved all the creeks, and rivers he could get in to. He loved hiking and swimming at the beach, and most of all chasing rabbits, squirrels and birds. Bear loved basking in the summer sun, and chilling in the winter snow. He loved people watching and going on long walks. And most of all he loved when dad was at work or out of town because rules didn’t apply to him then. Bear truly had the kindest, sweetest, loving, and most loyal soul there was! What we would give to take one last walk with our boy or pull up to see him peaking his head in the front door window. Our hearts are broken with losing him and sitting in our now quiet home. 

 

We love you FOREVER BEAR and thank you for being the best, and most loyal protector to our children Jeremiah and Francesca. You are forever in our hearts.
