Ilmo always followed through. When he said “we should do this,” it was never an empty intent. He meant “I’ve decided that I want to do this, so we’re going to do this.” He made things happen and never hesitated to reach out to invite you to join him in his ideas or his fun adventures. I feel honored to have known him and to have spent time with him. He lived life fully and loved Hayzell completely. Thank you, Ilmo. Thank you for enriching the lives of all who knew you. My heart hurts, but I’m thankful to have known you.
