Campbell, TX Saturday, June 3, 2023 I had the privilege of hunting alongside Kendall for many years. I always greatly enjoyed his company and conversation. He was a genuine man who was passionate about the outdoors. He cared deeply for his family and his friends and had an incredible way of staying positive in any circumstance. He was a man of God and his faith was evident. I smile thinking about the conversation around a fire in an old camp somewhere right now with his dad and my uncle. Iām sure the stories are plentiful and the joy far surpasses anything we have experienced on earth. Until we meet again my old friend, save a seat for me.Alfie king

Terrell, TX Monday, May 29, 2023 Kenndall was one of a kind , his passion for the outdoors was something awesome to be apart of. He was a hunter , trapper , & a man of the woods. Saw him take a stool , go sit by a tree & no long big buck down again, he just knew where to go. Also he always brought enough food to feed us all on lots of hunts. Always working on the cabin , feeders , stands. He was the kind of person u wanted to hunt with. Now one thing about him that kept us awake at night was laughing at his stories & that snoring from Godzilla, but it was a blast having him around. A true friend lost to soon. Good heaven hunting ol buddy. See u again one day
