“He was a sweet boy, the sweetest boy you ever met, and he was loved by anyone who met him. He loved sports, Batman, Spiderman and most importantly, money. May the impact that Mars leaves behind be a constant reminder of love and hope. It is because of Mars and his family we are gathered here today and able to offer hope and life to others. A simple thank you will never be enough. If we can take a moment in this time together, in silence, to honor the life of this little superhero.”
