Condolence from James Hake on January 17th, 2017 11:55 pm

I still don’t know how to process this. Especially since I had recently seen him and even more recently spoke with him over the phone. His parting words wasn’t a typical later or goodbye. It was “hey, love ya bro.” And i couldnt help but to say live you too back. He was truly a light bright beyond his years and will never ever be forgotten

I would like to extend my sympathy to the family, and share with them these promises from the Scriptures. May they bring comfort in this time of sorrow. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are discouraged. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Peace be with you, dear family.

Condolence from Ann Lindsey on January 23rd, 2017 10:55 am

Dear, Knudson Family,

So sorry to learn of Carlton’s passing, do not know the circumstances, but, I know what it is to lose a child. You may not know our Chad passed away in 2003. I remember when he and Carlton were classmates here in Sweetwater. Carlton was a good and kind friend to Chad. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. He will not be forgotten.

God be with you,

Ann Lindsey and Family
