In honor of
Curt Carrillo
From Cristina Bonnici
mountain
There will never be another Curt, Bort, Burt, Curty, Lazarus in this world, nor would I ever want there to be. As cliché as it sounds, it is the truth, Curt was truly one of a kind, and only he could overcome the things he did, do the things he did, and be just who he was. Even in death, he found a way to bring us together and bring us laughter and joy. He was the most loveable asshole anyone could ever hope for and for the rest of my time here on Earth, until I see him again, I will miss him, and be missing a very large piece of my heart. Miss you Asshat.💚💔
