We are heartbroken to share that Diesel left us yesterday.
Our sweet boy passed away in his sleep right beside us and at home, leaving us on his own terms, in true Deez fashion. He was ready to roam free and without pain on his next great adventure.
In many ways, I credit Diesel for this life we have now. When I met Trent, it was his bond with Deez that put me at ease and drew me in— I knew he would understand my relationship with Marley. Without Deez I don’t know how I would have gotten through losing Moo. He truly became the most loyal companion to me during that time. His love for his people was as undeniable as his hatred for feathers, business cards, hair ties, and water, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to spend half of his 14 years with him.
Camp and Turner were raised and guided (and tolerated) by the best big Brudder on the planet, and I’m grateful for the influence he had on their lives and personalities. I hope they will always carry a piece of him wherever life takes them.
The hardest part of all of this is seeing Trent go through something so excruciating, knowing exactly how it feels to lose your best friend…Knowing that grief isn’t ever linear and that nothing but time will help heal this wound.
What a gift Diesel gave us, being by our sides for so many years. The heart and soul of our family may not be here in the way that we knew and loved him, begging for food, tackling bears, befriending cows, and snuggling on the couch, but he will forever be celebrated and remembered as the best boy we’ve ever loved.
Thank you for loving him too 🤍
