Dear Kohler family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I spent 4 years with Rick sitting behind me in homeroom at CCHS! We had some great times, I enjoyed seeing him at our reunions. He's a good man. Saying goodbye is never easy but I hope you find comfort knowing he's in the arms of our Lord.

The strong bond of friendship that Rick and I
shared growing up together as kids can't be
expressed in this short paragraph, but I know he was a good family man that God had other plans for. We shared many things together going to the
movies,playing softball and just hanging out doing kid things. My heartfelt sorrow reaches
out to all of Kohler Family as we all grieve.
Until we meet again my friend and make more
memories your friend Matt.
