I just now found this out, Kelby I remember all of the times we would hangout in elementary school and we were best friends. The last time I saw you we were at an arranged get together between our old friends at Harkins. You were such a great kid and were always so sweet. Rest in peace buddy...you will be missed...

I am heartbroken, Kelby was such a big sweet guy. He had a great smile, and his eyes always had that mischiveous sparkle. I love you Lance, Robyn and Kody. You are and will remain in my prayers. God bless you all. May His peace which surpasses all understanding be with you and bring you comfort as you move forward.

Kelby was a classmate of mine in school. He sat next to me and always asked to borrow my headphones. He gave them back to me every time, which proved his integrity. I could always tell he had a soft core. You're a great guy, Kelby. I know that you are in God's kingdom watching over your beloved family.
