kebreau, my dude! its been over a month now, and not one day has gone by that i havent thought about you or about what you've done for me. i wrote you three letters since the day i found out about our loss. i came across this page just today in work. if it wasnt for you i would have never made it out of highschool (and i know im not the only student that can say that). but oh god, i probably would have been living down the cape working with a family by now! but you didnt let that happen (thank you)! you changed my life. i was taken by the news. my heart just broke. i believe we have soul mates. people that we're just meant to meet because they teach you so much, and because they change your life. they help you grow. i believe you were one of mine. you were the best friend i could have ever had. through all my tears and my rollercoaster ride through highschool, you were right by my side every step of the way. you made me want to do better. you even helped my mother and all of my friends in so many ways that i can never explain. i remember telling you i wanted you to walk me down the aisle when i got married!! i meant it!! you were like a father to me. i will never forget graduation day especially. you were the only person who put a smile on my face on the day that was supposed to be one of my happiest. ("im here") ill never forget that* i wish i could just go back to sophmore year on the day we met and start all over (sharon, shannon, sheena?) hahaha. i miss you so much kebreau and you will always be in my heart. my deepest sympathy and all of my love goes out to your family. they were blessed just to have you for the short time that they did. rest in peace* i love you
Rest in Peace fellow Fight'n Owl.

Very shocked to hear that James passed away. I met James in the Urban Education program when i entered college. He was one of the few counselors that I could relate to. He simply put is what most people want to be...a man whom all respected and he honored that respect you gave him by graciously returning it. James was a wonderful being here and will be a strong spiritual guide to all who knew him....

my regards go out to the family of mr.kebreau. I was a student of his for three years he was the teacher you could go to when you were having a problem, he helped me through alot, all i can say is he was a great man,teacher and friend. God has a plan for all of us an apparently he was in need of another angel. Rest In Peace.. you will be greatly missed but live on in your family and all your teachings.

Know that your daddy was and always will be a great person. He helped so many kids at EHS. My life is truly blessed because I had the opportunity to work with James. He was a giant of a man who cared deeply about all his "kids" at EHS. Everett will surely miss you James. Rest in Peace. Marygrace Ferrari

James Kebreau was a man of honor and integrity. I had the privelege of working with him at EHS. He had a way of connecting with students, even the most troubled, in a way that was beyond compare. Just his presence would light up the faces of those students who were having a bad day. His kindheartedness reached beyond the students to the many colleagues and friends he had in Everett. I count myself very fortunate to have known him.
James, may you rest in peace. Heaven has just gained another angel. Laurel Hickey

Mr Kebreau, I walked into class the other day when one of my friends walked up to me and told me about the bad news. It didnt hit me till I began to hear everyone else talk about it and I seen this one girl cry about our loss.
Its so sad to know that your gone forever. I never would imagine loseing you like this.
I remember when I fist met you, all I could think about was "omg you look like my father!" And when I started to get to know you I began to fall in love with you and your personality. I looked at you as my father. I also remember walking into your office and looking at your pictures of your 2 daughters and your son and your wife. I just thought how happy you are with this beautiful family. Every time you spoke about your family you had this big smile on your face that I could never forget.
It hurts me to know that your gone and ill never be able to hear you say once agian that I remind you of your 2 daughters when they grow up. I miss you and I know ive only known you for 1 year but throughout that 1 year I grew close to you. May God be with you and your family.
I miss you )=

My regards go out to Mr. Kebreau's family. He was truly an inspiring man and a mentor to me. I could always count on seeing his smile in the EHS hallways. Even if I was in the worse mood he brought a smile to my face. He was a genuine man who only had his students best interest at heart. Hard to believe your with us no longer. I will truly miss you Mr.Kebreau,may you rest in peace and watch over us. See you in the next life.

Although our time together in Everett was very short lived, I was touched deeply by the way you cared for all of your students, and treated them as fairly as possible. For that you have been my inspiration in my current teaching job, and will continue to own a place in my heart as a mentor and a colleague. Rest in Peace my friend.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for you as a person. In the short time that I was fortunate enough to know you, I think you were great at your job, and I feel that you were a wonderful man. I know how hard you worked for the kids in Everett. I'm only sorry that I didn't have the opportunity to know you for a longer period of time. Hopefully you have found peace, and my heart goes out to your family and friends. I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

Mr. Kebreau,
You have definitely been a great help in my life throughout my high school years at EHS. I truely miss that Mr. Kebreau who always look out for me when I was in need. You became a very important role model not only in my life but also my friends too. Its crazy knowing that your not here any more and I never had to the chance to come by the school to say "wussup" letting you know how my life in college was treating me. I will never forget you. I know your looking down on all of us. Your were a great man and it should never be mistaken what you have done for me and for alot of people. May God Rest Your Soul.
