You never forget the people you love, no matter if they died. If you really want to always remember him and tell him all he meant to you, write a letter to him. I know it sounds weird, but it's a good way to get out all your feelings. Keep this letter and maybe a picture of him with it. Grief is a process that takes time. Also remember that holding on to him isn't good for you. Pray that he is in a better place and that your pain may heal with time.
