Kenan and I coached the Clash of the Carolinas and remained friends for years afterwards. This is a shock and I am saddened by this news.

We are thinking and praying for all of you.

Kenan and I taught at Forbush High School, where we became friends. I am happy to say that I knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with Dana, his family, and friends.

Dana and family, So very sorry for your loss. My God be with you in the days ahead.

Our prayers are with you family. Kenan was a wonderful man, teacher and soccer coach. God be with you during your times of sorrow.

So sorry about your loss...
