    I was fortunate to have worked with Sloan at BMW of Newport. He could light up a room simply by walking in! His dry humor, big heart and love for animals were just a few of his many wonderful qualities. It was an honor and pleasure to be called his friend. Heaven gained a very special Angel. Till we meet again…..

    I don’t know if anyone could ever find the “right” words to say… “I’m sorry for your loss”. But I’ll try! Life is such a special gift, and we must cherish it everyday. I believe Sloan did just that. What a wonderful person. He has left the world in a better place, he has touched so many hearts. What an extraordinary man. I wish I could of known him better. I met him only on two occasions and he so impressed me. When all is said and done…. we are the lucky and fortunate ones to of had him in our lives.
    Please find a special corner in your heart for him and his family.

    Sloane,
    My son’s child; my nephew.
    We continue to mourn you.
    Cannot believe it was two years ago Easter
    that you had a devastating accident. An accident that
    rendered you in a coma for nearly three weeks…
    you were surrounded by your loving family and so many friends.
    You were never left alone.
    Our love for you is forever…..
    We think of you this week and every day of our lives.
    Your memory will live on through those you left behind…
    May you Rest In Peace knowing how many people loved you and continue to speak your name.
    Auntie Lesley
