I am so sorry and deeply saddened by the loss of such a great guy. I served with Kelly in the Air Force and shared an apartment with him for years. These years of knowing him, made me realize just how great of a person he is. Some of my best memories in my life include him. I see now, that the 4 days we spent with your family 2 summers ago, was an incredible gift, we will never forget. Chris, Dustin, Jordan & Haley, our thought and prayers are with you through these tough days. Kelly will be greatly missed.
God Bless.

I can honestly say, that I have never seen a man with a more infectious smile and a zest for life. While the circumstances are tragic, It is an honor and priviledge to know him, and call him my friend. May our Lord, Jesus Christ give you comfort with the reassurance that Kelly is in heaven. God Bless you Christine and your children.
