Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. I remember him from school. He had a smile that could light up any room. His spirit will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to you Kevin and to the rest of the family during your loss.

Kim, Kevin, and the rest of your family I am so sorry for your loss. I am at a loss and still at somewhat disbelief that Kendall is no longer with us. I first met Kendall while playing ball at Whitthorne Jr High and started out as somewhat jr/sr rivals which grew into a friendship. I think about those countless nights we worked out in your basement and then played one-on-one out in the drive way deep into the night. So many great times we had. I will never forget those times and the memories we shared together. During the sleepovers Prebble asking me to tell Kendall to do this or do that. Kendall was a great friend and like some of the others here have said when I think of Kendall I will always see him with that great smile of his and the many laughs we shared together. Over the years I guess we lost touch with one another but when I did see him it was just as we had left off before. I am truly sorry and my thoughts and prayers go out to you. May peace be with you

Kendall was a good friend to me. He was funny, and he lit up every room he ever walked in to. I never heard him talk down to anybody. The world will be a darker place without his joyful smile and sweet sense of humor. If I can do anything, please don't hesitate to call me. Kevin, I am especially sorry for your loss.
