I am especially going to miss him, Otha was like another son to me, this just hurts so much, we became real close when I found out he was OJ's little brother, and I immediately became attached to him, he had an infectious smile and OMG that laugh by itself would make you have tears laughing. R.I.P "O", I got Stefan for you, till we see each other again. Love You man.

Otha captured me the moment I looked into those beautiful eyes. He had a curiosity about life and his surroundings, it was like he took mental "pictures" of the environment he was in at the moment. Always loving and respectful every-time we saw each other. His Spirit will live on in each person that crossed his path.

Otha was such an amazing person. I only knew him for a short amount of time while he was in class with us. He radiated with kindness and happiness. Otha wil definitely be missed among our classmates and I am just sorry that I didn't get to know Otha better.
