This sudden news really broke my heart as I am about to get in touch with him whom I had lost touch of him for more than 20 years. The best friend i ever met during my college year together with him at JSU. I could only know his demise thru Facebook. Although it has been a long time, I have never forgotten his joyous mood, kind heart, helpful and also his so tasteful fruit cake. I really hopeful and eager to meet him one day, but now he is gone... He won't be forgotten from my fond memory of him during my stay in US.

Words cannot express my feelings of the loss I feel for Rick Kell, Jr. He was my best friend, my little brother, my confidant - no one was a better friend than Rick. I miss him so much - he was always there for me and I for him. We could talk for hours about everything. We would laugh together, cry together and sometimes say nothing but know what the other was thinking. I can't believe he is gone. I have his wonderful memories and stories and our fun time together to keep for my lifetime. His laughter, his face, his antics and his hard times - all captured in my memory - he is with me. Rick, I love you and miss you, your friend, Rita Picklesimer, Lexington, Kentucky (859) 243-9965

Words can not say what the heart feels. The heart will miss Rick's sweet spirit as he served our Lord with his many talents along with his irrepresible sense of humor and laughter. Enjoy Jesus's reward, Rick - you suffer no more! To Rick's mother and brother - remember his goodness.

We will miss Rick at Peachtree Presbyterian Church as well. He gave us two beautiful tartan banners for the Kirking of the Tartans and we will hang them in his memory every year.
