Elicia & Wade – we were so very sorry to hear of Jarred’s death. We remember his younger years with a mop of curly hair and running around inquisitive of everything. We know from experience how hard it is to deal with unexpected death and we hope that you are finding comfort in friends & family. Love, Velma & Vince
I cannot begin to comprehend this tragedy. My heart aches for you Elicia, for Sandra, for all. Remember that my thoughts and love travel forever with you; anytime, anything, anywhere you may need.
I love you more than words allow.
To say that Karl (as I knew him) will be missed is an incredible understatement.
He was a wonderful young man, and brought great joy to those around him.
It’s rare, but he was one of the few people that I have encountered in life, who no one really had anything ‘bad’ to say about. Everyone just ‘loved’ Karl.
His humor, commitment and ‘stick to it’ attitude brought him both respect and appreciation. His maturity at the right times and immaturity by virtue of his age and experience only made us love him more.
I am personally just numb with disbelief in losing him, and I know that a great many of us who knew him on varying degrees of familiarity that feel the same way.
On behalf of Fisherman’s Quarters II, and our family at the restaurant our condolences to Wade, Elicia and Angela and the rest of Karl’s family. While we grieve, our grief certainly must pale in comparison to yours.
Karl was a part of our ‘working’ family, and is irreplaceable in our hearts. He will not be forgotten.
There will never be another man like him. He was truly unique and wonderful.
