To the Kitchings Family may God keep you during this time. I have already missed Alonzer so much. Our office hasn't been the same without him. It took Alonzer to tell jokes about you and you laughed with him at yoursel. There is no other like him. He was funny but a good person and will always be in my heart. In Alonzer's famous words "stay focused" and know that he is in a better place than where he was.

I am truly sorry to hear of Bam's death. I stilll remember him growing up as the only boy. When I saw Bam again with the years passing he was all grown up working at the gate on fort gordon. He still had that same smile; a beautiful smile you can't ever forget "REST IN PEACE"

Alonzer and I served together after military service. A great friend with a love for life, he embodied true professionalism and never forgot two basic responsibilities - mission accomplishment and welfare of the soldier. Rest assured he's in a better place now, keeping 'em straight! You will be missed brother man.

I served with Alonzer here in Colorado, during his Active Duty days, and shared some great times at his home, along with many, many friends. This is devastating news. He was a great friend, never hesitating to help anyone; always full of laughter, and a consummate professional. Rest easy my Brother. You'll be missed.

To the family of Alonzer "Bam" Kitchings,

Bam and I only got to know each other after his mother's death. But, I enjoyed my many talks and in this last year the countless number of texts we shared. I shall miss him a great deal. I pray that the Lord gives all of my aunts, uncles and cousins the strength they will need as they go through this very difficult time of loss.

Love you family,
