To Keenan's family;I know that you are in shock ,right now,but God will hold fast. I am praying for,"that peace that passes all understanding,"because I know,it has saved me many times. I am writing,in behalf of Charles Carringer,and myself,his daughter,Connie. Uncle Matt loved Keenan and Tish ,so much. He was not only, a wonderful uncle,who took me to church,and influenced my life more than anyone else,but was a devoted grandfather,to you ,both. I pray that Keenan is in his arms,now. Please, know,that we love you,and we will continue to lift you up,to the Lord.

Jana,,, there is not much in the way of words to bring comfort to you in the coming days. A temendous void has been created with Kenny's early departure from our lives. He will always be a huge part of who I am. He was true friend to many of us along his journey in life. I will miss him dearly,, as I know you will.
Angie and I love you and are always here to help you in your time of healing.

Jana, this is such a shock and loss to you and everyone, all of you are in my prayers. I think about our ride to the mountains and Kenny riding that mans bike to the bottom of the hill so the park ranger would not impound it, and I smile. The trip to the beach when we rode in the rain more than the sun. There are wonderful memories to concentrate on that will bring much comfort to you in the days ahead. May God bless you and the family during this time of loss and grief.
October 3, 2009
Jana, I'm so sorry for your loss. You lost your loved one. My heart goes out to you. We have been friends for a long time, and I know you loved him so much. May God give you the peace you need and, yet you'll see him again. We love you, and will pray for your healing.
