As well as to express sympathies to the entire family, knowing firsthand what you are all experiencing...this message goes out to Melissa who I have known since she was 2 yrs old.
Melissa: May you and your precious family bring strength to each other. May you look at your little boy and cherish what you have been given. Life can be too short so we all need to make it the best that we can and to prioritize what is truly important in life. For various reasons, not all understood, it has been a number of years since our families have seen or spent any time together. Know that it doesn't mean that you, Colleen, and even your parents haven't been in our thoughts over the years. I hope that we contributed something to you that you can reflect back on fondly including your snowglobes. I would like to think you still have them. Remember that even in your time of grief God and your loved ones are still close by in your heart, soul and mind. No one can take your memories away. - We grieve for ourselves not for them... Be good and take care of that little boy, who I did manage to see a picture of ! He's a beautiful gift from God all bundled up in Love. My mother used to say that the little ones are the bandaid for our broken hearts

Thad you would have been 22 years old it would have been your day, I can not tell you how much I miss you every day, I wait for the phone to ring and you to be on the other end, I look at the sky in a whole new way now it seems alot brighter I think that has to do with your smile up there. I can not tell you I love you any more face to face but I know you can hear me every time I pray to you or talk to you from here. Happy Birthday Sweetheart fly high and be free,
always my love

We still think of Thaddeus often and stop by his grave sometimes to talk. It's hard to believe he is gone, he still feels very much alive to us. He will be missed forever.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences and my deepest sympathy.
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.

I would like to take this time to thank you all for all the wonderful things you had to say. Thaddeus was a good young man and truely did brighten up the room by just being in it. He will be greatly missed by many and never forgotten by all. Once again, thank you from myself and my entire family. And always tell your loved ones every chance you get that you love them. I love you Thad and think about you every single day. You were not just a brother to me, you were also my friend and until we meet again you will always be in my heart...

IN MEMORY OF THAD!
my cousin,
my brother at heart,
my other half,
you always knew how to make me luagh,
knowing your gone its hard to sleep at night,
so i hold that shirt of yours all so tight,
you are part of the reason im growing so strong,
you would fix my mistakes,
and tell me when i was right or wrong,
someone once told me that i was only half a person,
you were the other half,
and together we were one,
even though half our person is gone,
that doesnt mean our person is done,
im here,
you can live through me,
and still be as happy as you once could be,
your my guardian angle,
helping me live my life to the fullest,
i know having you as my angle will be the coolest,
all my life that we spent togther,
i will never forget,
but always remember,
i love you so much,
and i know you are there,
i have now just found out that life is not fair!<3
thadd i wrote this for u i love u<3

Thaddeus was one of my favorite young people. He was like a breath of fresh air. When he would visit he would always make us laugh and smile. I also remember him always wearing his cowboy hat. He wouldn't go anywhere without it. God is getting a great person cowboy hat and all! My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Days after this hit me, Its still hard. I grew up with Thad, just messing around with Dylan, Marc and Fallon. He was a great kid that I will remember forever. I tear up while I write this, its like a terrible dream. I just wish that I could have kept in touch with him over the years cause it hurts even more. You were a great friend Thad, and you will be in my mind with all the others that have been lost. I'll miss you.
Alan, Minard, same to you guys. You were good to me growing up and watched over me. I'll remember it forever, and I will never forget it. I dont want to make the same mistake with your brother and lose touch with you guys. I'm here if you need me

Thad,
When i got the phone call that you had passed my heart sank and tears rushed to my eyes. I had to listen to my voicemail over and over again, I couldn't believe that, that had happened. I still see your smile, hear your laugh, and cannot stop remembering everything about you. You brought a smile to everyones faces even if they didn't want to, you always had the best advice to me and many others. You never wanted to see anyone down. You were a great blessing to everyone. I love you so much and will NEVER forget you. I know your still in there and will be here when i need you.
Carkner Family,
You are so blessed to have had the time you had with Thaddeus, he is an amasing person. He was such a joy to be around. God bless you and your family.
*I love, miss and will always remember you Thad*

Dear Carkner Family,
First of all I am so sorry for your loss. You may remember me from back at Meilaks, I was best friends with Thaddeus from about age 7- age 12 when I had to move. I have so many great memories of Thad that I will keep in my heart forever. I havent seen Thaddeus since 1999 but from what I have read he grew up to be a wonderful young man. I know for a fact that Thaddeus is watching over you all. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. .

To the Family of Thaddeus,
I want to express my sincere condolences to you all for this sad time. I watched Thaddeus grow up into a such a nice young man and for him to be taken from you so quickly, our Lord must have had a very special job to fill up there in his beautiful kingdom, a job that required a special person to complete it. When you all feel the smallest breeze pass by you and you realize that there is no breeze at all, PLEASE remember, it is Thaddeus gently wrapping his arms around you all and keeping you all safe...and doing one the biggest jobs in his new life...becoming your Guardian Angel until you all meet again.
Thaddeus:
Fly High and Celebrate with the Angels in our Beautiful Heavens above. Rest in Peace Thaddeus Carkner you will be missed by many and memories of you will be remembered by many!
You are all in my Prayers!
