Dean Bro. Samuel C. Parker III
You are a true example of what an Alpha Man should strive to be. I work hard to become that everyday and still feel your encouragement and support as I work on my imperfections. Thank you for being a great mentor, brother, Dean, and most importantly friend. I appreciate you so much and you are sorely missed. I know you are watching us down from above and I hope you are proud.
Fraternally,
Bro. Brandon V. Ray

Bro. Parker,
You set the standard for excellence in all that you did. It's truly amazing how much you were able to accomplish and how many you affected in your short time here. Your wisdom, brotherhood, and friendship will be missed by us all.
Respectfully,
Bro. Brian Pruitt, KXL
Sam,
It's now been a year and a half since you have been gone and I still can't believe it. You were not only my frat brother but you were my friend and I miss you man. You will remain the epitome of what an Alpha should be. I still want to be just like you when I grow up and I know it will be impossible to be "better than you!"
I wish you were here so we can go celebrate your birthday...but I will celebrate without you being here physically....
You will never be forgotten....
Tony T.
