I worked with Maj Stutts at Lakenheath and he was just an all around great person. Regretfully, I did not keep in touch after we both moved on to our next assignments. He is someone that I will always remember fondly, he was a great mentor and friend and a great provider who genuinely cared about his patients. The Air Force is better for having him and this world is worse without him. May God please comfort his family and friends during this difficult time.

Dear Cousin,
Words can't express how I feel....you were away for so long and I didn't even know you were in the States. I've thought of you many times over the years and really missed being able to get together at Grandma & Granddaddy's house, like we did growing up. Your dad would have been so proud of you as we all were and it's a shame we couldn't have all got together again. I had just heard you were in San Antonio two days before I got the news. My sincere condolences go out to your dear family, your wife Chris, and your children. May God bless them and keep them in his loving arms; I pray God gives them strength to face the days ahead knowing that you are watching over them with Uncle Kenneth. Love you Darrell, always & forever. <3
