I would like to express the deepest sympathy for the lost of this young man. Our schools had the privilege to face each other this year and whilst it was a competitive game all the players were respectful and the Zeeland boys gave us a good welcoming.
May you find peace to know that he is with God resting in a better place.
All the love and respect, sincerely

What a precious and infectious spirit he had! My daughter worked with him at Culvers and I will always remember his beautiful smile. My daughter also went to school with him at East and my son was actually playing on the other soccer team when this occurred. We are so very, very sorry for your loss as well as the community. May God give peace and comfort to your family and may his life live on to be a testimony for the Lord.

Alan and Betty, we are so sorry to hear about the loss of another grandson. They both seemed like really special men. Al and I remember your family from years ago. Your sons picked blueberries with our Erik. I have thought of you often during the 30 years we lived in other states. We have a 16-year-old grandson, Erik's boy, and our hearts hurt for you.

Keaton was a good friend of mine. I worked with him at Culver's. Sunday, the 17th, was the first day I went in after he passed and it was rough. I didn't want to be there that day knowing I wouldn't see him there. He was one of the greatest men I know. Had a big heart and he loved God and loved people...the true mission. I honor Keaton Kroll today.

Thinking of the Kroll family during this devastating time of loss. May you be surrounded by family and friends to carry you through this grief. Our children are such a gift to us and the heartbreak of losing one too soon is I'm sure completely overwhelming. May the God of eternal life be close to you during this difficult time. I will be praying for you.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
