I am truely sorry to find that Flint had to go through what he did. I know that his suffering might make it easier for others who have the same load to bear. That makes him a hero, he's always been a great guy.

I have nothing but fond memories of Flint. Although I haven't seen him in twenty or so years. I remember his happy and carefree way. Always a great story or joke to tell. Flint was a great guy, he will be missed.

Lois, Steve, David, Vickie and Debbie and family ~ I was so sorry to hear of Flint's struggle with cancer. I am sorry that he was in so much pain. I know that he and Chris are somewhere together enjoying that steak dinner Flint so eloquently talked about at Chris' funeral!

To the Evans family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I was so glad to be able to reconnect with Flint this past year by mail, even if it was for a short time. He is such a great story teller. His words made me smile and remember some of the fun we had growing up.
May God give you strength and may your many memories give you comfort.

Debbie, and Evans family,
I only learned today of Flint's services..he met one of life's challenges once again of a horrible disease that takes too many people from us..I only wished that all the pain he went through could have been avoided but now he is free from it.
I went to high school with him and have such fond memories of him and his brothers and sister Lois.
He always had such great humor and a great sense of life..I haven't seen him for 30+ years but the memories are still there of him.

I will miss Flint. I have known Flint many years, from the days when we worked at the Trixie mine, the time he helped me rewire my home in Payson and especially his last few months here with us. I enjoyed his smile and his way of telling stories that always brought a smile to me. I know he has many friends that will miss him. He has had many great struggles and challenges the last few months which he handled better than lesser men. As he reunites with his loved ones that have gone on before, he mentioned how he missed his father, may he find peace, love and happiness. God Bless You Flint.
