Jd was a deep thinker, a good listener, and an impressive video gamer. He enjoyed reading, nature, and being around running water. Jd was a passionate person who felt everything deeply. His vibrant sense of humor, enthusiasm, and smile were a blessing to those who knew him. He was a devoted dog dad, and leaves behind his loyal princess, Marceline “Marcy” Corral.

“Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.” -Mary Elizabeth Frye
