"Not only did the killer take my life but he stole my son's right to grow up with a loving father," the press release continued. "My son will grow up knowing that his dad missed his first steps, his first bike ride, games, graduations and all the other important milestones a dad should be present for. I can only hope that my son knows I have been watching over him from here."
