“His friends will miss his company, jokes, laugh, and grin for the rest of their lives.”
“Filipe was one of the funniest people you could meet, always putting friends and family first. He’d give his last pound to someone in need and share everything he had.”
“He was a very spiritual person, using this to find himself and become the strong, good young man we knew he would be.”
