I would just like to say that I was an inmate at the jail for a D.U.I. and knew Kerry. He was a asset to WCCF and I believe will be missed by some inmates ( who were shocked at the news ) who liked him as I did. I am very sorry for the families loss !!!

Dear Sandy, Ken, and Karisa, I only just learned tonight that Kerry is now with Jesus. I am kind of speechless. Kerry was so handsome when he took my mom by the arm to escort her to the car for church. She got a big kick out of him being such a gentleman. I can only just imagine what it must be like for the two of them NOW :). But for you folks ... I am so sorry. I will join the many who are already praying for you. I love you all, Patty Konachik.

I only met Kerry a few times years ago, when he was a room mate with my uncle and my father; therefore, I knew very little of him. I am sorry for that. I was told that he was a beautiful soul. Sorrow fills my heart to hear that he is no longer with us. Thankfully, that means he is now home, and in the arms of the Lord. God bless all who are suffering, and although it may be terribly difficult do try and remember to smile. I know he'd rather see your smiles, than your tears.

Dear Sandy, Ken and Karisa...It's been a long time...but I can so vividly see Kerry and Seth still playing years ago at NLCA. Such fond memories! My heart aches for your loss...yet at the same time, it's so reassuring to know he's with the Lord and probably no doubt has already had a conversation with John. You're family has been a blessing to me and my family in so many ways...May God comfort you...and know that even though years have passed...you are forever in our hearts.
