I remember when you were born... when you were little, you used to call me "Unk." I watched you grow up from a distance... Not because I wanted to, but because I was ashamed of what I had become. Wish I could have told you that. I'm sure you'll keep Maw-Maw company until the rest of us can get there. Love you, man.

The entire Killian family have been a cornerstone of family unity in Clover for many decades. This horrible loss of Chandler breaks my heart, along with every parent. Your emotions of heartbreak, emptiness and anger will be hell. Whenever your at the point when it's unbearable, crack the door open a little wider and let God ease your pain and give you some direction.
Chandler, may your beautiful spirit be at peace.
