Sky was compassionate, hilarious and kind-hearted. He was truly one of a kind.

Sky was extremely intelligent and loved to learn new things. He passionately stood up for what he believed in, and felt he needed to educate everyone on those important issues. Sky was extremely caring and wanted people to be happy even at his own expense, just to put a smile on your face. You couldn't be around Sky without him making you laugh.
