My prayers are with the family

I met Jr.just a short while ago when he and his daughter Amanda did work on my home . We fast became friends and I grew to love him, Amanda and his sweet wife Ms. Peggy. We along with our friend B.P. Simpson enjoyed meals out on the town and shared many laughs. B.P. and I are "physically challenged", Jr. was always very attentive to make sure we were safe getting in and out of the vehicle, and settled in at the restaurant. I have made life time friends with his family. I am honored to have met a man such as Jr. I will miss him, but continue to think of him often and his many GREAT deeds!

So sad and shocked at Juniors sudden passing. We will always remember and be grateful to Amanda, Dave and Junior for the work they did in our basement. We will make a donation to his church in his name. May God rest his soul. He was talented and kind man.

Junior was one of a kind--honest, sweet, caring, hard working, loving, encouraging, and the most amazing brother-in-law, uncle, and pseudo grandpa. Junior had a very special relationship with his "Texas family". He and Greg enjoyed Nascar (Ford in particular), pilates with Teri, construction with G, politics with Ben, and walks with Augie. We miss him already, and he will always be loved and remembered! Love and prayers for Peg (Teri's sister) and to all the family.

To the Beckwith Family, We are so very sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. With love, Ella and the Kennedy family

Jeff and I are so sad to hear the awful word of your father passing away. God be with the whole Family God bless Y'all 🙏🙏🙏

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
