My 4-20 was laced with grief and the worst saddness I'll ever have. I would gladly have cancer again a million times to get my daddy back.

He was cremated and we have his ashes on the mantle. I have his ashes in a bracelet on my wrist.

He was 45 (his birthday was on April 25) and he was a healthy and active man. He was 6'0 foot and 190 pounds. He was an avid fishermen and a hunter.

He was also my smoking buddy. In the mornings he would come home from his job and we would watch Fox and Friends, talk politics, and smoke a bowl.

He was my best friend. He made me into the person I am today.

He taught me to never accept handouts and to have a strong work ethic. He made me interested into politics and it's still a passion of mine. He got me into great music like Zeppelin, The Doors, Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, and many, many more.

He was the best dad ever. I can't even begin to tell you all of the great stories.

I'm just glad that when the cops found him and searched his pockets, they didn't find his weed or his bowl. It's mine now.

Here's the obituarie,
