Raise a glass, let’s toast to a shining star

A soul so bright, no matter where you are

He was the kind of soul that lit up every room

Laughter in his eyes, even through the gloom

Faced the storms with a smile, a wild heart to match

In army boots or ball caps, he'd never detach

Carrying more than words can say

A deep well of love, a guiding light in the dark

He showed us how to stand tall, come what may

His spirit lives on, igniting every spark

So raise one up for Shorty, for the stories and the laughs

For the loyalty he carried, the memories that last

Though the road got heavy, and the nights got long

His spirit keeps on riding, in every song

Through hard times and good, he was the steady hand

A true friend, a hero, in a world unplanned

His laughter echoes in the hearts he touched

His legacy of love, we carry so much

Here's to the nights and days he brightened

In every heart, his fire still lightened

So raise a glass high, for the brave and the free

Shorty’s spirit lives on in eternity
