Bronx liked playing cards, being with his friends and family, caring for the chickens, drawing, making experiments, sew, make plushies, and learning new things. He loved flowers, shopping, Starbucks, and cats. You could always count on Bronx to lend a helping hand. He was always down for adventures and exploring new things. He had a curious and creative mind. With his servant heart, he enjoyed serving at his church in Ohio.
