Nevelle Orlando Grow aka “CHUCKY” (August 10, 1987- July 25,2011)

A “half Muslim, half Christian”, “thugged out genius” I shared the faith to at the University of New Orleans during Impact Kamp (June 20th-July 29th 2011). He had high energy and a love for talking with people. We kept in touch through text/calling/prayer.

One of my last texts to Chucky one week before he took his life on Monday morning, July 25, 2011:
Wasup Brody. Here we Go: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 2 timothy: 6-7 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. ..Ok love you Chucky. Write these scriptures down! =] -Mike

Chucky: Not to grieve too heavily in heart but a constant reminder of the immeasurable value in keeping strong relationships, saying a simple, sincere hello, and showing Love to one another through words and works. You never know when people are going to go! So Love HARD. R.I.P. Chucky, God have mercy on your soul.

1 John 4:19 “We love because he first loved us.”
