Your son sounds like a wonderful young man. My heart is aching for your family. I don't know you, but I was touched by the goodness of your son and I am also a mom and one of my sons shares the same birthday as yours. I am deeply sorry for your great loss and am praying for you at this tremendously difficult time. God bless and comfort you all.
Sounds like your son was astounding. So sorry about your loss.
So sorry to hear about this heart breaking loss! We mourn with you.
What a giant among men he is. I know that wonderful people are called to do the work on the other side. We all miss him here and our lives have been enriched by his friendship, wonderful spirit and everlasting smile.
Rick,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers.
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful person. I would have loved to have known him. I'm sure he has been a tremendous example to all whose paths have crossed his. My condolences to his family, whose hearts surely are broken.
I have had a really hard time hearing this news this week from Michael. It has bothered me deeply and I have been quite emotional all week. I loved this kid and the chance I got to know and coach him a bit as a wrestler. Was always one of my favorites as he’d always listen and was just a joy to be around. I know that Kellen and Michael thought highly of Karl and he was always one of their favorite teammates with Tech Wrestling, Junior High, and High School. Such a good kid and I feel so greatly for him and his family. You will be missed Karl.
Absolutely loved Karl. He was in the Band at WX and was a very fine musician and just the greatest kid! I could always count on Karl to be prepared with his music and he sounded great! You will be missed Karl. Our hearts go out to your family at this difficult time.
