Unhappy The accidental death of my cousin, Kenny Brooks Jr. Thank you TB

Sign in to disble this ad
Over the weekend, Kenneth Brooks Jr, 21 years old, was shot and killed by his little brother in a tragic accident. He was the most innocent kid in the world, too, seriously

He was my wife's cousin, though viewed as more of a nephew. This case is tragic in every way imaginable - his parents were away celebrating their 25th anniversary at the time.

Obviously this is a very trying time for my family. I am requesting prayers on behalf of my in-laws, and "positive vibes bro" from those who opt out of prayer

Man, I am so sorry. That is horrible.

You and yours are in my thoughts - and my wife's a prayerful person. I'll ask her to include your family.

So sorry to hear about this tragic loss Chris, difficult to comprehend such a thing

I wish you and yours as well as can be, and peace.

I'll try to send some positive energy your way. How's the little brother holding up?

Edit: Listening to this song right now and thought it might make you feel a little bit better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvRKEre2ki0.

What song is this? Youtube's blocked at work, and this is my only internet connection. I know. I fail



EDIT: Nevermind. I found it. Thanks for making me well up

How tragic. Things like this shouldn't happen to anyone--especially not to someone good, yet it happens in a fallen world. You and your family have my condolences and are in my prayers.

I don't know you, nor the person or family involved. However, a loss of life is rarely anything but a tragedy, and this one obviously effects you. I'm sending all the positive vibes that I can. Fare thee well on these trying times.
