in memory of

Marcel Turner

26

Houma, Louisiana
He was coming from work, he pulled up, got out, and I guess the guy was in the house. He didn’t come back; the car was still running. He went inside, and I guess the guy was in there at the time.

Connection

It’s my brother.

Memories

I would call him every day, he would check up on me, he would come see me, I would tell him I love him, I used to go see him and be there for the kids.

Reminders

I have a lot. I mean, my face, because we look alike. Certain foods I don’t eat it cause he didn’t used to eat it, like fat on food, he didn’t like fat on food.

Wish I could say

I wish he would have stayed where he was, I wish he would have stayed at work, and then he would still be here, cause I don’t know who it was for, but it wasn’t meant for him, you know?
