My deepest condolences to the Nolan family. I drove with KC to take the test at St. Rita and played football with him there. I remember being so happy he was going to Rita and would be my teammate because he hit so friggin hard. Great man and friend and will be missed. Rest in peace.

KC, in first grade you taught me how to climb a tree, throw a punch, and stiff-arm football opponents. I will really miss your sense of humor and love for life. Rest easy my friend. See you on the other side.

KC was, undoubtedly, the funniest man I ever met! Our condolences to Kasey, McLean, Max, Amanda, and all the Nolans, and all who mourn this tragic loss. The world will be a little less fun without his quick wit, friendly smile, and passionate feelings that he shared generously with all who came his way.
Rest in peace! Thanks for all the laughs.
Love,
Cathy & Don O'Keefe
and family

KC you were one of the coolest kids I knew back in the 1980's. No joke. Although I haven't seen you in many, many years, I still remember you as a brawler, a laugher, and a friend who would have your back anytime, anywhere. A real stand up guy you could count on, good times and bad. I'm sure a lot of people will say the same thing. I regret losing touch with you bro. You will be missed by many. God bless. See you on the night shift.

It's very rare that a new person enters a family and just fits right in. KC, that was you and we will be forever grateful to you for loving Kathy and her kids, for your kindness and support to all of us and for the laughter you brought to our lives. Wishing we had more time but so grateful for the memories.

KC, Tomorrow will be one of my hardest days of my life. I will have to say goodbye to my Best Friend. The love we shared will never be forgotten. We both said we had a second chance at happiness. You will forever live in my heart. Kathy " Boo as you called me"
