Kenneth Kincaid Obituary

Family-Placed Death Notice

OUR HERO PFC KENNETH E. "AARON" KINCAID, IV 1 April 1981 - 23 September 2006 Aaron Kincaid 1981 - 2006 His legacy is one of Faith, Love for all, Patriotism for the country he served and Honor in Duty YOU ARE MY SUNSET Forever Our Son NO FEAR, Aaron, NO FEAR Aaron was born in Wheeling, WV and raised in West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois and Georgia. Attending schools in all these states, he graduated from Faith Academy of Loganville, Georgia in 1999. As a child, his love of life and nature surfaced early - he was the first human I ever noticed a savvy barn cat actually "hugging"- around the neck, claws retracted and purring! Full of energy, sometimes to his own dismay, he learned many things from facing frustration- he became the most persistent worker and yet patient Father I ever was blessed to know. Aaron loved motorcycles and had a dream of his own "Road King" upon completion of his Army mission. I know he is riding with our riders today, trying out the feel of any Road Kings first, but then eagerly every other bike equally. His passion for nature took him fishing so many times and so many places I often felt he was inventing these small lakes where he'd say he fished- until I saw fish! Fishing became the best hobby I ever saw him love - and he has passed that love to his darling girls, Keni & Abi who both have enjoyed wetting a line with their Daddio both in Georgia and Hawaii. Being a West Virginian, he also loved the mountains and visits to WV to see family and friends. He is also unique in that he had a love for a certain 4WD Chevy truck in Pickens, WV but then soon became an avid Ford truck owner. Aaron could do just that- try everything, and master anything he tried. He is survived by his mother, Marcia, of Lilburn, GA; his father, Kenneth (III) of Acworth, GA; his brother, Marc, of Miami, FL and his wife, Rachel and daughters, Kennedy Nicole (Keni) and Abigail McLain (Abi) who will relocate to Georgia. His extended family also includes many loving grandparents, uncles, an aunt and cousins who will miss him dearly. A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, October 5, 2006 at 10am at St. Marguerite D'Yourville Catholic Church, Lawrenceville, GA. Interment with Military Honors will follow at 3 pm at Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, GA. The family will receive friends Wednesday from 6-8pm at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Pfc. Kenneth "Aaron" Kincaid Memorial Fund. Donations may be made at any SunTrust location or mailed to: Sabrina Russo, Branch Manager, SunTrust Banks, Inc., 827 Joe Frank Harris Pkwy, Cartersville, GA 30120, in memory of Pfc. Kenneth E.

Dear Family - Although we've never met & our paths will probably never cross, I feel bound to you by your son. Today 23 May 2015, I ran a race in your sons honor. His name was randomly put on my race bib and I felt compelled to reach out to you. Today I DID THE GRID RACE in Northport NY for "Aaron"!!! He's my hero.

Hey Aaron,

Gee, can't possibly be 8 years ago tomorrow....but it is.
The girls are doing well and we camped with them in Fla and had so much fun we plan to go back this fall!
We said Mass for you this Sunday and hope you'll help all the men about to go back to Iraq!
God bless all you Heroes!

We love you, Son!

Hello Son,

Wow, it's been 7 years since you "graduated" at about 5:15pm I think (Iraq time)on 9-23-2006.

I know YOU know this, but feel the need to re-state the amazing peace which overcame me when I heard the news. Still a strange thing today, but a Blessing to know you are with our Lord himself.

Rachel has adopted Liz and Nick and what a great job she is doing, you must be proud of her - we sure are!

Your girls are smart, ornery (alot like you were) and beautiful. They and we ALL miss you terribly and think of you often!

You "little brother" Marc was working for Cousin Tommy but has moved back to Miami, FL to open his own Construction Company there!! Please go visit Marc often, he'll appreciate any help you can give him.
You'd really our new toy, a used RV to carry the girls with us camping in almost any season..... and powered by Ford - a V10 Ford! ;-)

I Miss you, buddy boy.... Help God keep us all SAFE!

Love,
Dad

My Dear Hero-Son Aaron,

Today we marked the end of 2 years without you on Earth with the rest of us. Amid the mess the rest of us must face every day I ponder the hidden blessings that you are over yonder, on the other side, sending us help in the form of hope and hidden energy which we can't see, but all of us need so dearly!

Your girls are doing so very well, all 3 of them! Rachel is making us so proud, with her maturity and excellent daily loving and decision-making; just incredible!

I felt you comfort me as I decorated your grave today, thanks! Nice blue flowers, huh - Abi could not wait ONE SECOND to proclaim LOUDLY that they were "FAKE" but hey, silk flowers last longer in the fall! Blue iced cake too - what a hoot your loving family is!
Keni was so much fun to play word games with! Abi is going to surprise us all with her creative side - what artwork in her little composition book!

We have an overnighter planned for each girl to visit us and our birds!

Aaron, we miss you and love you so - Oh, by the way, your beloved brother, Marc, is applying to enlist in the Army - Please guide him and watch over him! He really wants an Army career.

See you soon, in the very next moonlit or starry night!

We love you, son!

Your Dad & Family!

I am thinking of Aaron's family on this day. I know that hearts are still torn and broken. I can not think of the right words to say to take the pain away. There are none.

Aaron was a hero and a true friend to Velton. They left this earth together and they are still together today doing something even greater.

Thanks for being a friend to Velton, Aaron. You are loved and missed by many. Thank you for your sacrifice.

With love,

Proud Sister of SGT Velton Locklear

In Memory of 'Aaron' ~ (Debra Estep)

September 23, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Aaron, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Dear Family of Aaron,
On this day and every day, it is a special day for Aaron and my son Velton. Everyday, every minute of my life my heart hurts for what has happened. I would like to share this poem with you that I wrote for all the brave and courageous men and women defending our country, but most of all for Velton and Aaron, for these beautiful angels that the Lord has in His home.
A soldier at war in foreign lands,
to fight for his country, for freedom and peace.
He leaves back his family, and swears he'll be back, believes in the duty that he has to face.
Away in foreign lands, his heart stays so strong, his mind he makes up to stand for what's right.
For peace in a nation, where a stranger he is, for peace in his homeland, that's what he believes.
He took all the pictures of the people he loved, he carried them always as part of his heart.
and he didn'f forget the most powerful being, the Lord he did trust and believed He would walk right at his side.
And back home the family hears, a soldier is dead, and their hopes and prayers are, it is not the soldier, their soldier that left.
A soldier that stood for freedom and peace, that fought with his heart to defend what was right.
that soldier is dead in a foreign land, it doesn't seem right, that back to his land, he will never arrive.
the soldier that fought for the freedom of all, has died in a foreign land that wasn't his home.
This soldier so proud he stood, as he left to a far away war,
his words were so simple to say,
"I know I will be back 'cause God will be there, and we need to defend our country and theirs, so pray for us all, united we'll stand for our country and countries that need all our strength".
These words he repeated, his faith he kept strong, as he proudly went to defend a foreign land.
But he is not back, he died in that land. Do you know why he's gone, and what purpose he served, do you know his job, the cause he fought for, do you know the freedom that you and I have, is what he fought for in that foreign land.

In memory of our beautiful fallen heroes, Velton and Aaron.
Love you and miss you so very much.
Carmen Locklear

My Dear Hero Son,

HAPPY 2008! I imagine time whizzes past you in your NEW duties so I feel an urge to be more PROMPT in my writing to you on this New Year's Day 2008. Christmas is just not the same without you stopping over with your girls! We met Rachel and Abi & Keni at your new Bridge in Gwinnett for the unveiling of the "Aaron Bridge" signs on each end as it crosses the Yellow River near Gwen's Ridge. As I recall you & Marc and others played and fished there quite a bit. All your friends in Gwinnett will think of you as they drive along 5 forks Trickum Road now and be as PROUD of you as we are!
The Wolfhounds are back at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii now and some say the war has made a "turn" for the better for the Iraqui's - time will tell but I feel your effort was a KEY in getting the job done there!

Rachel is doing a great job with you (your little "tricks" seem to keep coming back!) and the girls!!!

Patty took me on a Caribbean Cruise and I enjoyed it and the rest it offered immensely while I thought of you so many times as I saw the young folks on board!

Tomorrow I get back to work for 2008 and will be very busy so I wanted to just say HAPPY 2008 and I LOVE YOU SON!

Oh, late yesterday (12-31-07) I heard from Marc who is doing well and was attending an event at his Masonic Lodge! More later!

Love, your Proud Poppa!!

"Mom" Snyder

December 13, 2007

Aaron , you would be so proud of your girls. Keni is in school. Did we ever think this day would come that the tiny baby we held minutes after birth would be reading and writing her name? Abi is a little fireball, full of love and boundless energy just like you! Rachel is working hard to keep everything together and doing a very good job. She is making a good home for ya'll. We feel your loss more at this time of year because one can only eat so many oreo's for Santa's sake.

December 3, 2007

Marcia and Skip,
We met many many moons ago. In doing research on the Irag War/technology/etc. I came across this. I am so sorry to hear about your son. May his memory be a blessing.

To the family of Kenneth E. Kincaid Our hearts and love goes out to you and I hope you will know that we have not forgotten your son nor the pain you deal with day in and day out. I hope to make a quilt if you contact me to honor your son by honor you his parents. It's not easy dealing with the pain that you try dealing with every single day of your life. Please know you are not alone for the rest of the country is thinking and praying that you will be able to take one day at a time and get over the holidays where everything seem to hurt more for it's a reminder of your beloved son is gone. He is in a better place but that doesn't make it easy especially when all you want to do is give him a big hug and hear his loving voice. We will pray that God will be with you in time of need and so will we. my email is [email protected] and my website is www.freedomquilts.net

Hello my Hero Son,
It's been just a single year (to the minute, according to one incredibly alert pooch you sent us!) and we want you to know how much we love you, how much we miss you and how very proud we are of your duty, your honor and your family you have left with us here on earth!
I have read that some war casualty experts think the fallen's spirits remain behind to help continue the fight with their unit. It begins this week, that your unit, the 2-27 Wolfhounds will return to Hawaii, so bring them home safe, son and fly as high in the unlimited heavens as you find you need to! Today we will remember the day you GRADUATED EARLY with Rachel, Keni and Abi. Rachel and I will try desperately to find you some BLUE FLOWERS to decorate your marker out at GNC, where we earth-bound like to go to remember you in a down-to-earth way. Yesterday 9/22 a great friend from your town of Lilburn took me to a fly-in at a beautiful grass airstrip which reminded me of all the great flights we had when you were young and also of how freely you fly now - FLY HIGH and FREE, son... you are so loved and missed! Know that we cherish every moment we spent with you here - we ALL did!
Oh, say "Hello" to Jesus, my Mom and all who know me!

ALL OUR LOVE,
Your Proud Daddy

Aaron was one of my customer at the waffle house on Law. Hwy i will never forget. he was very sweet and kind man. may god bless and watch over his family always.

Megan Jackson

September 11, 2007

Although you all may not know me. I knew Aaron. I am not good at this whole writing thing. I wanted to put all my memories and thoughts of Aaron down. I remember when he told me he was going into the military, we were at the Waffle House on Lawrenceville Hwy. I asked him what if they send you to war. I remember he looked and said I will fight for my country. I remember when he had to go have work done on his mouth before he went to boot camp and when he came in with his new hair cut. I just found that picture in my old cell phone. I helped him sell his red probe to a friend of mine. I remember the last time a saw Aaron was the week before he left and he helped me and my friend move, and then we took him to drop his rental car off. We all went to Waffle House talked and hung out. It was time to go we all gave hugs and he said I will see y'all when I come back from boot camp for a short time. I never thought that would be the last time I saw him. Aaron was a proud and true american. I never had the pleasure of meeting his wonderful wife and daugthers. I remember him saying I am doing this for my family. I didn't find out of Aaron's tragic death until a couple months after it happened. I have been to visit him many times. If his parents and wife read this you all are in my prayers. We all lost a wonderful person. Aaron is truly missed by many. I remember my parents telling me what a wonderful young man he was. He was just always so helpful and he was a true friend. Aaron if flying high now and walks with us every step we take. Good Bye for now I will see you again someday. The family of Aaron you are all in my prayers. May God Bless you all. Aaron you are a true American Hero. I am delighted to have been able to call you a friend. God Bless and we miss you.

Love Always,
Megan

September 7, 2007

Thank you so much for being a part of my son Velton's life. It is an honor to know that you were his friend, his comrade, a soldier at his side just like him. God has taken you both to a beautiful home. He has chosen you for your hearts, because He knew He needed two kind, strong, beautiful young men to be a part of heaven. I am proud of you, and it is with great honor that I remember you in my heart. Thank you for your sacrifice, for our freedom. And most of all thank you for being a friend to my son.
God bless your family always.

August 6, 2007

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

My Beloved Son,
I am amazed I just found this web page (through a co-worker)!

My current wish is this ENTRY be DATED:
4 JULY 2007 - a year ago we hugged the very last time as you promptly delivered me to the Honoloulou Airport after we had a wonderful Holiday visit at your family quarters in Schofield Barracks, HI.
I am so happy and BLESSED to have seen you being the BEST Hubby & Daddio to your girls! Keni loaned me her bed and room but I think she liked sharing with Abi while I was there visiting. I am so glad we took time to fish and visit that week!
Did you REALLY do those things at Southern Pipe? ;-D My heartfelt THANKS to all of Aaron's friends, neighbors and mentors, most of whom I never knew (parents usually don't!) who have related more of his life to us through these pages!

See, Aaron, you can STILL make an old man SMILE! I am so PROUD of you! I am so thankfull we had these 25 years' blessings as Father and Son and all the treasured moments we (your family) enjoyed and will forever remember.
One of my favorite memories was watching you scramble up the steps to the Parkersburg, WV Montessori pre-school, thinking how SAD it was to see you "off" to school like that as a toddler! My how things change!

I am sending you angels to speed you on your new missions, I know you are visiting us all - I feel you near me quite often and thank you for that! Be sure to comfort Marc and your Mom, they need you too.

I'll be back to write you again...
I LOVE YOU, Aaron
Dad

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. You don't know me but I was approached one day while I was in uniform in the Atlanta Airport by a soldiers family who gave me hugs and told me of their recent lose. I was compelled to remove a medal from my chest and pin it on the spouse’s coat. She in turn places a Wolfhound pin on my collar. I have often wondered who and where this soldier came from. I have lost soldiers here as well and my son is a Marine, we both have been fortunate but some of our comrades where not. I still wear that pin in my cap it reminds me every time I place it on my head of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
Gods Speed to you and yours.

Most of you dont know me, but I knew Aaron from a few years ago. He stayed at my house in Lilburn for a while as I worked at Waffle House and he was at a car dealership. Aaron talked to me a couple times about joining the military so he could get an education and serve his country. I recently found out about his sacrifice, and I wish racheal and the kids my condolences. The last time I saw him we werent on the best of terms. Things like this make you realize the friends you took for granted. I would have liked for this realization to have come from less grave circumstances. I am proud to have known Aaron and I remember him every time I see someone on a crotchrocket. My condolences to his family, may he rest in peace.

Rachel, You don't know us but we are bound by the loss of precious loved ones. Our hearts go out to you and your children in the loss of your brave hero. We lost our only daughter on 9/11 in the Pentagon (she grew up here in Georgia). Your loss occured as a result of that tragic day and we are saddened that more brave young men and women are being lost. The horror of losing a precious loved one is always on our minds.
God Bless you and your family.

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Thank-you Aaron for the love you gave my daughter and for my beautiful, talented,and intelligent granddaughters.[just because they are Keni and Abi Kincaid.]
Thank you for respecting me enough to call me Mom instead of by my first name like some people do for their in-laws.
Thank-you for the opporitunity to know you and watch you grow with my Rachel into a loving vibrant family and I am heartbroken that it has ended. I'll always be grateful for the times we had together as an extended family and I will tell Keni, Abi,and Rachel all about how much you loved them.

I will pray for you every day, that God might bring you peace and help you survive the loss of this brave hero.

Kincaid Family, Loved Ones & Friends: I am so very sorry about the loss of your precious loved one. As I look at his picture, I think what a handsome young man. I would like to honor this courageous soldier & say something that has meaning, but I don't know what to say. I just pray that the God of Comfort will be especially close to you as you go day by day for He is the Only One who can bring peace & strength to you. God bless you. Sincerely,

To the family of Pfc. Kenneth E. Kincaid. My most sincere condolences to you.

Having lost loved ones during the Vietnam war, I know the pain and sorrow you are going thru. It does get easier to bear, but you will never forget. The happy memories of the good times will help you endure. My son, Spc. Robert Casais, Jr., is serving in Iraq and I anxiously await his return. If he were to have his last breath there, I find strength and comfort in the hope of the resurrection promised by Jesus at John 5:28&29.

Please be assured that Jehovah God will remember Kenneth on that day and that once again you will be able to embrace your dear loved one.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

May God Bless your family during this time. I Lost my brother 9/1/05

Aaron was an impetuous lad when I meet him during the Spring of 1995 in Gwens Ridge subdivision in Lilburn. He had wandered to my street tom-catting the pretty girls that were his age next door to my place. He, from the kids in the neighborhood's account, had recently been kicked off the bus for lighting a match. I gave him a lecture, as I am prone to do, and we talked of his plans for school and future. I was much like Aaron in my youth and I saw through his excuses for his actions.

These visits continued for years. We would stand in the road at the top of my driveway and talk for long periods. I remember his pride and the marked discipline when he visited during his Lynman days. He would drop by on different occasions over the years and we would visit on his successes and future plans, even after he left the neighborhood. I always spoke highly of my military service with Aaron because of the pride I still have in serving. The last time I saw Aaron he brought his oldest daughter, Keni, over to visit. It was quite a shock when I read the neighborhood newsletter about Aaron's death. We had read the paper of PFC Kenneth E. Kincaid of Lilburn, but did not make the connection.

Aaron was a fine young man, and I am extremely proud to have known him. My prayers and heart felt grief go out to his family in their time of need. Aaron epitomized life and living it.

My younger brother serves in Afghanistan today and I am awaiting my next deployement.

Aaron was my roomate at military school for a little bit but a friend for his remaining time there. He was pretty tough, I will give him that (I made the mistake of playing football with him!!!). Even though i haven't seen him since May of '98 (he came to the military ball thing), I can still see the smile on his face....I myself have been to Afghanistan twice and Iraq once and have lost guys, but its different when its your friends from another (pre-military) life. My deepest sympathies go out to the family. For the rest of us that made it, and those that they protected, we should live our lives in a way that is worthy of their sacrifice

My name is Julie Angulo and I am SGT Velton Locklear's sister, who also lost his life with Kincaid that day. I am so sorry for your loss, and no words can really make you feel better. Just know that he is in heaven watching down on you and your children and he will always be with you guys. It has been so hard for me to accept that Velton is gone too, but we must remember them as the heroes they are and wonderful guys they were too. May God bless you and console you in this tragic time.

Condolences and deep regret are natural feelings for those who are left behind after Aaron's departure. I had the honor to have worked with him at Southern Pipe in Lilburn. We had fun working together, inventing toys from plumbing supplies and wasting time when things were slow and the manager was absent.Spud guns and other things were made, with his limitless imagination. Things were never boring with Aaron around...he kept me and the rest of the crew at Lilburn laughing. If it wasn't from a stunt he had pulled on one of us through firecrackers or clear plastic wrap over a dim lit toilet seat, the laughter and fun was always there. Things that seemed impossible to do were always at least tried by Aaron, and more than half the time he'd suprise me by getting further than expected. His rebel heart seemed restless except when he would mention his daughter (this was when he had only his first born that I knew him) A light in his eye and a sly sheepish smile emerged everytime he mentioned her.
We tried to keep in touch some after we both left Southern Pipe, but life directed us in other directions. I am honored to have known him. He was a blessing. If there was anything I would ask for those who knew Aaron it would be to remember his fearless nature to try anything and the joy he shared with those around him as he experienced life. Things he did whole hearted were done with no regret.

Mr. Kincaid, Marcia and Marc, our prayers are with you all. I never had the joy of meeting Aaron, but I did get a chance to view this wonderful young man through his mother's eyes. I remember the day she brought her album full of his baby pictures to work, and I remember how proud she was when he joined the Army. God may have just give you 25 years, but he left you with many years of Aaron in Keni and Abi and in your hearts. God Bless you all.

To the Family of Pfc. Kenneth E. Kincaid:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.

My Deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Pfc. Kenneth E. Kincaid.
The price this young hero and his family have paid for this country and our freedom, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
There is so much thanks to be given, to these young heroes, for their Courage, Service and Dedication.
May Kenneth rest safely in God's Loving Care and may God's Comfort and Grace be with the Kincaid family.
I am the sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.

Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on...
And cherished memories never fade, because a loved one's gone....
Those we love can never be, more than a thought apart....
For as long as there is memory, They will live on in the heart.

May the memories of your loved one live in your heart always.
Softly and slowly....
Time heals...

To the Family of Pfc Kenneth Kincaid:

I am deeply saddened to see that another soldier has been KIA in Iraq. We want you to know that we grieve with you over the loss of another precious soul such as Kenneth. I know from first hand experience what you are feeling and what you must be going through. We lost a son in Ramadi, Iraq on December 1, 2005, SFC Brent A. Adams.

As Brent’s mother I know there is nothing I can say at this point in time that will ease your pain and sorrow over the terrible loss of your brave and courageous son Kenneth. We know your hearts are broken and there is now a void and deep sadness in your heart that will never be filled. It is like a scar that will always remain with you. May it help you to know that there are others who share your pain, agony and sorrow. While the pain will probably never leave but lessen some with time, we pray the Lord gives you comfort, peace and strength to help you cope with this earth shattering loss no parent ever wants to experience.

This is an extremely difficult time, but hold on to those wonderful memories of your brave soldier….the ones that make you laugh and remember with joy the moments that you shared. The laughter between all those tears is one of the ways that will help you work through your grief. Kenneth is a hero (a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities) and even though we were not fortunate enough to know him we pray for you and all your family and for all those men and women serving our country so valiantly. Our children have made the ultimate sacrifice and they will always be honored and never forgotten. Unfortunately these tragic events have bound all of us together and changed our lives forever. God Bless you and all those who mourn the loss of OUR FALLEN HEROES and thank you for the courageous service your soldier preformed for all of us. We wait for the day we can be reunited once again with our loved ones in the Lord’s House. You now have our own guardian angel to watch over all of you. If you feel the need to talk about your son we would be glad to listen and hear more about the life of your loved one.

Barb and Jack Benard (Proud and loving parents of SFC Brent A. Adams KIA 12/1/05)
