To the Orton family, I'm deeply saddened by your loss. I sincerely offer my heartfelt prayers in behalf of each and everyone who has suffered from loosing a son, nephew, grandson, and a friend. I remember when he was born, appreciated what he did for his grandfather's retirement party and the joy that he brought to the family. Sorry I couldn't be there today, but will be present in the days to come.
Love you all

Hey family,
I am greatly sorry for Meshach's passing. I'm completely at a loss for words. I never know what to say to comfort those who suffer a loss like this, but I pray the peace of the Lord that surpasses all understanding descend upon all of you and all of those that are affected by this loss. His story isn't over, he is with the King now! I miss and love all of you very much! I'll be praying for you. #Ortonstrong

I am sorry to hear of the death of Meshach. We worked together for a short time at Kroger and I always thought he was an amazing young man. Fly high man you are gone too soon but definitely never forgotten. A young man whose life had just begun. Prayers for the family. Meshach, I will see you on the other side.

To the entire Orton family and friends I send my condolences on behalf of the Saunders and Jordan family, in the loss of Meshach.
I can remember him running around the church as a little one with that cute little smile, one thing I'll always remember about Zion Hill! To Wendy, I know only time can heal his hurt and it may never be healed, but with that and the Peace of God that passes all understanding, you will and can make it through these trying times. We serve a God of no mistakes, for there is no greater place other than being in HIS care. God bless and keep you, remember we are praying for you.
