There was nothing that he would not do for you. He was especially fond of Juan Sanchez and Justin Gazeko. He was always considerate and always willing to extend a listening ear to your problems or concerns. Although a young person, he had a level of maturity about him that made him easy to love. Proverbs 4:7 says: Wisdom is the prime thing, acquire wisdom and with all that you acquire, you acquire understanding. Odis was applying this in pursuing his life goals and simplifying the clutter that often comes with lifes pursuits. He was a giving soul, and was not sidetracked by pursuing the mundane thing that this system offers. Those who knew him would say that there was a pleasantness associated with his being in which he always exhibited kindness towards others.
