JK was a good baby, a good toddler, a good preschooler and he grew up to be a good man.
As a teenager he sat at his mother’s deathbed and told her, “If I could die so you would live, I would die for you.” Mom had tears streaming down her face as she told me later, “It doesn’t get any better than that, that somebody would die for you.”
JK accomplished his goals, and was a Christian man, including others to the warmth of his circle and to his table.
My favorite memories are his evening calls to me from his lonely perch at the Ogden Standard Examiner as his was doing his second job after his day job teaching school, working two jobs so that he might support his family. We talked a lot on his breaks.
What I will remember most is JK’s keen sense of humor. He is beloved by many including my grown children who all loved him and pronounced him the best uncle.
