There are so many words that I could use to describe Celton but here are a few of mine. Celton was a joyful and happy son and an extraordinary young man who made everyone around him feel loved. If he knew you, you were getting a big hug. His excitement for life was infectious, from his love of sports, (Senators and Blue Jays) and music ( Hard Rock especially) his expression of excitement for these things was undeniably pure. Celton loved the world around him, I remember many years ago being at a Military Family Picnic and Celton being himself was out and around introducing himself to the people attending as he loved to be social. I was keeping a close eye on him the whole time and at one point after sitting in the grass for a moment he began approaching people with clasped hands and gesturing everyone to look. Everyone would jump back from his hands with a start and begin laughing, I called him over thinking to myself what has that boy got himself into. He approached me and said Dad look, I bent down looked into his hands and there gently held was the smallest most delicate little frog I had ever seen. The joy he got from that was unbelievable. We put the little frog back in the long grass and to this day I remember it like it was yesterday.
Celton loved superheroes and to me he was a superhero, his extraordinary power was the ability to bring love and life to everything he touched and every room he entered, rest in peace my wonderful son you will be missed."
Love Dad
