CREATIVE PERSISTENT DETAILED
IN MEMORY OF
ENDRE THORKELSON
Endre was no ordinary classmate or friend. He was the type of person to drop whatever he was doing, no matter how important it was, to help someone else. He knew exactly how to have a good time even during the most stressful of times. Endre was one of the funniest individuals you could ever come across, resembling Rigby from Regular Show, he was a very cartoonish and lovable guy. He showed humility, respect, and empathy, with a careful balance of emotion and humor. Endre was a light in many people’s lives, serving as a brother figure to many. He was the glue for his classmates, keeping everyone together during times of good and bad. His passing really showed the class how much he had brought everyone together over the last five years.
WE WILL ALL MISS YOU FOREVER ENDRE. MORE THAN YOU WOULD EVER IMAGINE!
