If anyone were to ask who Diego was as a person, there aren't enough words in the world to describe him. The moment you would talk to him, the whole room would light up, his smile would get brighter and brighter and his laughter would fill the room. There wasn't a day that went by where he wasn't joking around or making you smile. Diego always made sure to enjoy every moment that he was given, and never took a second for granted. He affected countless lives with his kind, genuine, happy, loving self always making sure those around him were okay. He was the glue of our family, a role model to not just us but to everyone around him and a young man who left us too soon but leaves behind a lifetime of memories for those who knew and loved him.
