Samuel Ryan Hackler, my best friend.

Sam, in the 13 years that I’ve been your big brother, this is the first time you’ve left me with few words to say. Speechless, heartbroken, confused: all understandable emotions to feel right now. Yet no one understands why God had to take you. Perhaps he needed you more than any of us, which is frustrating, but I think that makes you pretty special. Out of all of the little brothers in the whole world, he chose you. You were a light to the world with the brightest smile and the biggest dimples. God needed that in Heaven.

There are a million more things to say, but not enough words to bring justice to the life that you lived. I love you more than absolutely anything Samuel Ryan, and I would do anything to have you back. I’ll see you soon buddy, fly high🕊

Sincerely, your big brother❤️ taken in Heaven by @drewhackler_17

EPOC GAMES MMXXVI- Hyrox Doubles Style

Complacency fears the man who seeks deep waters—not because he knows how to swim, but because he knows he’ll find a way to stay afloat. 🛶🪵 by @drewhackler_17

I Ran a Marathon on Zero Training.

“The man says, ‘I will climb this mountain. They’ve told me—It’s too high, it’s too far, it’s too rocky, it’s too difficult, it’s never been done before—but it’s my mountain. I’ll climb it. You’ll soon see me waving from the top, or dead on the side from trying.’” -Jim Rohn by @drewhackler_17

Two Years Without You💔

I had somebody tell me that if they didn’t know me, they’d never know there was somethin wrong…But as much as I smile, I hurt just as deep. Life won’t ever be the same without you good buddy, and that pains me, but I’ll keep smiling if that means I get to see you again. #LiveLikeSamuel by @drewhackler_17
