I was deeply saddened to learn of Kendrick´s passing. Kendrick and I were good friends while attending Denmark Technical College. He was a truly respectful and gentle soul-always positive, thoughtful, and kind. Kendrick will surely be missed by all who knew him. We often wish for just one more moment with such special people, until God calls them home. I find comfort in knowing that Kendrick is now at peace.
Rest in peace, Kendrick. You will truly be missed.
