Tory’s smile would light up the room. He was always the jokester making you laugh, but he had a roar like a lion his zodiac sign the Leo when it came to protection of his family, he always wanted to make sure everyone was safe and kept from harm. One of the things he would say the most is, “I am my brother’s keeper” and he truly meant that because if he had it his way no harm would ever come to his little brother, Rico or big sister, Shameka.
