The Partridge Family

 
*****************************************************************************
This May, our family and family of friends suffered a great loss. Scott's best friend since childhood and roommate, Kevin Kniese, lost his 2 year battle with leukemia. He was an amazing brother and friend that always was excited and willing to help out on the farm whenever he could. Through his loss we hope to carry on everyday everything Kevin was about: friendship, loyalty, trust, and pure happiness. We miss you Kev but know God can use a hero like you in his army of angels!
We think of you everytime we hear a train blow it's whistle! Luv Ya Bro...
 
Kevin Kniese (1978 - 2006)
