Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I've not seen Kel since high school and we were not close friends. We met in junior high while attending classes together. I knew him to be a very polite and fairly friendly boy and young man, but we had different circles we ran in. I'm sorry I never took the chance to get to know him better. My condolences to his loved ones.

I was a roommate with Kelly at Baylor. I have lost touch with him over the years, however am saddened by his passing. Can someone please help me get in touch with his mother, D'Ann.

Kel will be missed by so many people. The Heavens will be brighter with his smile and our world more dim. WE LOVE YOU KELLY BOY!

During our years together at AA, Kel and I crossed paths many, many times. As Flight Attendants, as Instructors and as Managers. Kel and I shared many laughs and insightful conversations. He will be missed.

What a gracious and loving man. Thank you Kel for seeing to it that everyone was reassured that you are at peace, in your Father's loving arms.
Kel's imprint here was so special and he will obviously be missed beyond words.
Godspeed to Chris, Kel's mom, and the whole family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Kel and Chris were my neighbors on Marvin Ave. Kel had the best dog..Hampton. This dog , loved my lawnmover...when I would cut the grass, Hampton chased the mower and chewed on the tires. Kel and Hampton are back together again.. in God's garden. Peace be with you Chris..and come visit us soon on Marvin Ave.

I knew Kel through Chris. I wish I had known him personally. The love that was felt for him is overwhelmingly obvious. That love is such a wonderful legacy. I admire him for his courage and his steadfast determination to survive. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. Chris, your love was so evident for each other. There are those who never know that kind of love. You were both very blessed in so many ways. I wish you peace in God's eturnal grace.

I too was in Kel's Flight Attendant training class 89-36. He served as our class speaker, I can't think of anyone who could of done a better job then Kel. Over the last 20 years I would run into Kel here in there, he always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. I will never forget the plane ride to San Fransico after our graduation at the Flight Academy. Those of you familer with Non-rev travel know that sometimes you are thrown on at the last minute. So sure enough the throw 30+...
