I am so sorry to hear of Kalans' passing. We attended Ada schools together and I remember him as a very kind & sweet guy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I was sorry to hear about the recent death of Kalan.  Kalan worked at ECU during the time I was a secretary in his father's office.  It was pleasant to look up from my desk and see Kalan come through the office door.  He was a kind, gentle man who had few words to say.  Although his health was declining at the time I worked with him, he was not a complainer or one to whine about his circumstances. I will remember his smile.

My condolences to each of his family members,

Beatrice Waller
