I love you brother, thank you for standing with me. May it all go up and into the sun again.

One of the things that make life worth it are the connections we form, and the journeys that we take together. Keenan entered my life during the beginning of my journey, my youth. The amount of time that I spent with him permeates my childhood enough to make those days hard to count. All of those thoughts and memories are cherished, always remembered as some of the best days of my life.

My own failure kept me from connecting with him as we grew, and as a result I feel as if I've missed out on part of an adventure I should have been on. The loss I feel is significant, but I cannon fathom the loss from those of us who had the pleasure of journeying with him into adulthood. My prayers are with you, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph.

Kenan, you will always be remembered.Your life was short, but you touched so many lives. Mr & Mrs Joseph may you find comfort in the memories of your precious son. He was awesome!

Janet and I remember Kenan's childhood as a delightful charming child. We pray that through this awful tragedy you both will sense the nearness of a loving heavenly father who identifies with our pain and hurts. May God continue to hold you in the palm of His hand.
                                                                   Melroy & Janet, Port St Lucie FL

Remembering the possitive that kj put forward. Stay strong and hold on to Gods promise. Wayne n Carolyn you all will comtinue to be in my prayers. He will always be with you all and his smile will always live on.

My sincerest condolences to the Joseph family. I had known Kenan for all of a week and I built a bond stronger than I have with most people I've known my entire life. His energy and soul were brighter and fuller than anyone elses. He spoke words and thoughts that opened my mind up to a completely new outlook on the world we live in and for that I am eternally grateful for his being. May God Bless strength where there is weakness.

Carolyn and Wayne, I'm so sorry.  When I think of KJ, I remember his big smile and tender heart.  My memory of him makes me smile, but I grieve with you in your loss.  I'm so sorry for your pain and am praying for God's comfort.

Wayne and Carolyn, please accept my deepest sympathy. Trust that you sense the comfort of the Holy Spirit through this most difficult time, knowing that your time is in the Lord's hand.  My love and prayers are with you. Be blessed.

A true talent. gone way too soon but also feel very blessed i got to know him for the little time i was given. We will keep his dream alive and smiling.  You are deeply missed buddy.

Carolyn and Wayne, may God grant you the strength and grace to handle this time of sadness. You have been in my prayers and will continue to be. Take comfort in the fact ....... God is too wise to be mistaken...... "So when you don't understand, when you don't see His plan, when you can't trace His hand, trust His Heart." God bless you both.

Wayne and Carolyn, we are so heartbroken for the loss of your son Kenan and we are praying that our Father, the God of supreme love, would envelope you with His presence, comfort and strength completely.   Your strength through so many trials through the years is such a testament of the great spirit of our Lord that resides within you and sustains you.  You are true representatives of Christ and His power.  Kenan could not have had any better parents to show him the love of God and the ways of Christ.  May His unfailing love be your comfort according to His promise. 
With greatest sympathy and love in Christ, 
Wayne, Marilyn, Taylor, Hannah and Luke

Wayne and Carolyn ... You are ministers of reconciliation, who are warriors for the Kingdom of Christ through your love, mercy and grace upon grace. Your beauty and grace was apparent through Kenan's presence, his character and his smile.  Praying for you ... The Lord gives strength; the Lord blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:11 In Christ Love, The Pettiford Family...

Carolyn and Wayne, we are deeply sorry for the loss of your sweet son, Kenan. We are praying that you will feel Gods powerful presence and comfort as you walk this path. Rest in the loving arms of our Sovereign God, whose grace is sufficient in your time of sorrow. Kenan was an amazing, talented, shining light in the lives of everyone he touched. His smile and charm (oh that charm!) could make you just give into him for everything! He is deeply loved and will be sorely missed! May you both continue to fix your eyes on Jesus and trust His purpose! We love you.  With deepest sympathy, Shari and Keith Sluder  (with Daniel, Stephen, Aimee and Liz)
