Not sure what to say?

I learned today that N. Kay Stevenson passed away 5 years ago and was saddened by the news. I had always hoped our paths would cross again in this lifetime.

So sorry to hear of Kay´s passing. I just found out today, that he passed away 4 years ago. I´ve been coming to Utah for a few years now, and I think of Kay every time I do.

Born months apart in Ogden, Boys State, missions same time, Stevenson/Jacob deer hunting partners with our brothers and Dads, Merlin and Heber, over the years. Close friends--though mostly living far apart---. What a Great Guy Kay was---and is in other realms.
He was easy to love and I loved him---along with so many whose lives he touched. Fantastically gifted artist and loyal, devoted son of our Heavenly Father.
So disappointed that we...
