Hey Loki, it's been almost a year since your passing. I've heard from Karen, she says she is doing well in Idaho, like you talked about. We are still running your radio show as your legacy...we just can't be "you". We miss you so darn much!

I went by TonyInOhio on BTR. Loki taught me more than I can ever repay. Although we did not agree on political philosophy, we had a great online relationship. I consider Loki a teacher, a friend, a mentor, and an all around grand human being. I know Loki is not his real name, but he'll always be the master of logic, stoic calm in the face of opposition, and rabble-rouser of ideas that his online identity so aptly described. I hope his family can find peace in the fact he will be always fondly remembered by so many.

So many good discussions with you on BTR ~ How I will miss them, and you! You were a great teacher and friend and brother patriot. Would so loved to have seen you once again in DC. I will carry your passion for liberty and our country with me forever. Rest well, my friend (though I'm sure you haven't stop asking questions yet.) My thoughts and prayers to Karen and the rest of Tim's family.

Loki, I'll always remember you as Loki, you are truly missed. Blog Talk Radio won't be the same without you.
My deepest sympathy to Karen and all the Kerlin clan.

Tim, or more commonly known as "Loki" on blogtalkradio, will be missed greatly. He was known as a true patriot and Constitutional scholar. He would educate or "corrupt" those into wanting to learn history and what the US Constitution actually meant. He will be greatly missed for the giant of a man that he was that loved this nation.
May he rest in peace in now being able to fully confirm all that he believed in.
May his family be comforted in his loss.

Tim, aka "Loki" to many of us on the Internet, will be missed as a patriot. His faithful sharing and standing by the US Constitution was greatly respected. He loved our country and as a fellow veteran, he showed me great respect for my military career.
I salute "Loki" and will miss his leading in discussions.
His explanations and positions influenced my positions which I have shared on the ARRA News Service.
May the Lord comfort his family and close friends during this time of their grief.
All hands on deck. Attention. We salute you, Timothy "Loki" Kerlin. May your eternal rest have "Fair winds and following seas."

Tim, I can't believe your time came at such a young age. I am glad to have been your sister-in-law and a part of your family. I know that Aaron will miss you terribly. He told me lots of interesting stories about growing up with you as his big brother! Thank-you for always remaining my friend. We didn't get to see each other often but I always enjoyed your company and your easy-going nature the times we were together.
You will be missed by many people and will never be forgotten. Go with God Tim.
Love, Sharon
