I thank the lords of time and space, for they have given me the good fortune to let our lives intersect. Thank you for the asthma-inducing laughs, for our homes on my way, for trips to the most luxurious and lighthearted places, for the amount of movies I thought I was lucky to never remember seeing again, and for the indecent amount of ice cream we took to watch.
Thank you forever, for the joys and also for the pain we inflict on ourselves. Even this made us more and better.
The comic’s funeral ceremony will be dedicated to family and friends.
