Dear sweet Jesus Monte, you will be missed. Favorite memory for family and loved ones to know. He did the best back flips off of the diving board at the pools. He and my sister were friends and I was privileged to get to know and work with him in later years. Many prayers for the family and friends left behind and saddened by his passing, but I know he’s better now. God speed to you My friend.
