Today and tonight I feel a great sadness and loss of my closest uncle to me. We were like best friends. He was found in his auto repair shop by his ex wife, my aunt. She called 911 just minutes before she called me asking me to please come over that he had fallen onto the floor and wasn't moving. I ran out of my job, yelling on the way out the door I had a family emergency, got into my truck and was only a few miles up the road at work when she called me at 5pm today central time. My uncle had had a major heart attack and didn't survive.
It is with GREAT and IMMENSE SADNESS that I say this. My heart hurts so deeply it's taking everything in me to hold myself together as I think about him and type here. I am going to miss him so much and all the good things he's done for me and my mom and for my nephew and his family. I love him so deeply. He was the kind of man that had a heart of gold and would help my mom or me with anything and I would help him and my aunt with getting them help with electric and gas bills, making sure they had coverage for medicare and medicaid, and making sure they had enough food to eat each month. We were planning on building a new truck style out of my chassis and making me a custom truck this Summer and him teach me how to do body and paint work on it so I could help. It was a project I had looked forward to for months. I had just seen him Sunday when I needed his help working on my nephew's truck. He came right over and helped me without missing a beat. I had plans for him to do more work on the truck to fix everything wrong with the 4wd shaft, and to find and repair the engine coolant leak on it and I knew he would do it right. He was my mechanic and my uncle. One of the Greatest men I've ever known. Such a kind heart that when he met people they loved him right away. He was such a great person.
I'm going to miss him and my heart feels empty already. There's a huge hole in it right now as I type. I hurt so much and so deeply. If there is a Heaven, I know that will be where his soul went for all the good things he did in his life. His only son lives in California, is headed down tomorrow on the next plane he can get. He's so heartbroken over the loss of the only father he's ever known, my uncle adopted him and taught him everything he knew about building cars, doing body work, etc. and when he retired in California and moved back home to Texas, he gave his business to his son.
I miss you uncle JV. i LOVE YOU AND i MISS YOU . MY HEART ACHES SO MUCH AND IM HURTING INSIDE. i LOVE YOU AND i HOPE YOU ALWAYS KNEW THAT. i TRIED TO TELL YOU EVERYTIME WE SPENT TIME TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALWAYS KNEW AND THAT I WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU AND AUNT CONNIE.

please pray that God heals our hearts in time and eases my family's pain of loss.
Thank you.
