Dear Loved Ones,

We are so thankful for you. We are pleased the God put us in the same family.And we are so very grateful that we have the gospel of Jesus Christ which gives us to know of life in a glorious kingdom after this world. And we know that if we are all faithful to the end, we can all be together in that glorious world, and we can remain together forever. May the peace and comfort and strength of our Father in Heaven be with you always.

My dar Jeanala. Ialways will remeber the good times we had together in Germany or Colorado or Utah. We had fun the time your Mom, you and I went to germany and stayed at Oma's house and played games with her. Goning shopping at the Christkindels Market. Im so glad we came over for your Graduatin in 2003. Little did we knew that that would be the last time to see you. I'm thankful for phones. We could talk to each other. I'll miss you very much. Till we see each other again. With much love your Tante Helga.

Hi Jean I LOVE YOU may God always BLESS YOU I always enjoyed our time together and the time you and Jody used your camera. I also enjoy our times on AOL. Love Grandpa

My Jean, he is not just my cousin he is also is my friend.

I am a better person because Jean has been in my life. "Who can say if I've been changed for the better, but because I know you. I have been changed for good (from the musical Wicked)." Jean and I use to talk all the time, and there was not a day that passed when I did not feel loved, because everyone in Jeans life is important and loved. Everytime I think I Jean I just want to be a little better because he is so good, and so wonderful. Jean had been blessed in this life with two good upstanding parents, two most excellent brothers (I love you guys.), all his wonderful family, and every other person he might know. Including me. I would say that is above the price of rubys. To me Jean is priceless. He is worth more than any gold or precious stone on or in this earth.

My dearest son I have been looking at many of your pitures. Each one send a thousand momeries and many special moments that shall for ever unflod our story of our time on earth. Being the First famil member to hold you comming into this world I can look back as if it were yesterday. What a joy it has always been to hold you and share in the little things we did and the big events that come along.

we share specail feeling and had some nice talks threw our life. I loved teeaching you stuff and watching you grow. I never had an unplesent time with you. we smiled and joked and played with delight.

I did not have a hard time to let go of you my son. How could I I loved you so much. I do miss you like crazy and come home to hear sounds form your room. But all is so quiet now. I have my special times were i cry. That no one see but you and I. I miss those manely hugs we give each other going to church with you. I still go my son and i know your there with me. It was so hard the first sunday i went with out you being here. I had an awful time. I will miss you so much this father day. But ever fathers day I will have the right to cry and miss you. I can never thank you enough for wanting me as your dad i keep your father days card in the past little did i know the comfort of your words would mean even more today. Jean my son I love always. Your loving Dad

Dear Kinney Family, I always looked forward to seeing Jean at his home. He was a patient and positive person who tried so hard to get well. I am so sorry he has passed away.You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sheila O'Shea- Brown R.N.

jeano, wir vermissen dich so sehr du warst immer wie ein grossser bruder zur alinnah,

"wir danken gott,daß er unser war,

mehr noch,daß er unser ist, denn

wer im herzen seiner lieben lebt,

ist nicht tot,er ist nur fern,und

wer immer heimkehrt zum herrn

bleibt in der familie.

The Day God Called You Home



God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.

He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.

His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.

And knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,

He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,

We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you on the day God called you home

Leider trafen wir dich nicht so oft, aber letztes Jahr konnten wir deine liebenswerte,hilfsbereite Art kennenlernen. Wir hoffen wo du jetzt bist geht es dir gut.Wir werden dich in guter Erinnerung behalten.

Anita,Erwin,Tim u Tanja mit Familie

To The Kinney Family, I wish I would have met Jean, from all the stories Ursula has told me at work. I feel in some way, I did know him. I am sorry for your loss. May God Bless You All.

I don't know where to begin. I loved Jean with all of my heart. Seeing Jean in the hosptial always broke my heart. Jean was like a little brother to me and even though I didn't spend as much time with him as my sister did. He knows that I loved him and there wasn't anything that I would not have done for him. I love and miss you Jeano!! Love Sheila

Jean wir vermissen dich sehr!

Wir hatten immer viel Spass, wenn du bei uns warst....

In Gedanken sind wir immer bei dir!

Dein Onkel Schorsch und Tante Sonja

Today is the hardest day for me, I have Sunday dinner with my parents every week, and after I always go over and visit Jean before I go home, But today I didnt get to see him. Jean was like my little brother. I have known him since he was born. When Jody went on his mission and Andy in the Marines, I took over the role as older sibling, I went to his Football games and his band concerts. We went to Six Flags and Waterworld. We would rent video games and Jean was my movie buddy, It seems like there wasn't a week that went by where we didn't go to the movies. I had just gotten back from Vegas, and I told Jean that for his 21st Birthday I would take him. I am grateful for all the years I got to spend with him and spoil him, and man, all the fun we had. I will miss Jean everyday. But I do know his pain is gone and he is happy, and thats all I ever wanted for him, is to be happy. Jean I love you and miss you, Your big sister, Pia

I will sure miss my favorite Cousin. He had a heart of gold! I will never forget his caring and compassionate spirit. He would have made a wonderful couselor because he knew when to listen and when to give advice. His advice was always on the right page. I will miss seeing him online and instant messaging him. I was so sad to hear he passed, because I will really miss him. The world was a better place because Jean Kinney came into it and made a mark that will never be erased by time. His faith grew stronger even when he was suffering. He shared that with me many times. I stood amazed by the knowledge and strong faith he had at such a young age. My prayers go out to my Uncle Ron and family. Love to you all. Marie Blazina

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3 16

I want to extend my prayers, thoughts & love to the Kinney family at this sad time. I will always have a special place in my heart for Jean & all my memories of him. May we meet again in heaven.

Wir hatten viele schöne Erlebnisse auch beim Ostereier suchen hatten wir sehr viel Spass miteinander....

Wir vermissen dich sehr!!

In Liebe Tante Mike, Onkel Fred, Susanne, Klaus und Robert

My condolences to the Kinney family, you are in my thoughts and prayers

Dear Family of Jean's ~

Thank you for all your correspondences giving me your latest updates on Jean. Today, the 20th,I learned of his passing. I send all of you love and understanding. Jean was here to teach us all something. He was my second cousin and I never had the chance to meet him. Life is precious and I am so sad for your loss but I know that he is traveling onward now and free of any pain that he once had.

Jean wir lieben dich!

In Gedanken werden wir immer bei dir sein.....

Schade das wir nicht bei dir sein konnten...

In Liebe deine Cousine Michaela, Bernd und Thorsten

Jean wir lieben dich !

Wir werden dich nie vergessen und in Gedanken immer bei dir sein....

Jean will be missed. He was a kind gentle man. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jean was the most caring and kindhearted kid I knew, I know heaven welcomes him with open arms. I send my deepest sympathies to the Kinney family, although I haven't been around I still consider all of you great friends and wonderful people. This world may have lost Jean but I truly believe heaven gained a wonderful soul.

Jean and I have grown up together all the way from elementary school through high school. I have shared many great memories with Jean that I will never forget. We would always play together at recess in Elementary school. Jean loved to run and he was a fast runner. I always wished I could be as fast as him but that was never possible. We also took many classes together in junior high school, and in high school we would always eat lunch together with the group of guys that Jean also was friends with.

I know God will take care of you Jean.

I will miss you and you will always be in my memories.

Jean I love you and you will always be in my thoughts. I remember all the fun times we had when we were living in Germany. I will see you again one day and we can have fun together again. I know you are the most beautiful angel up above.

Having known a great human being like you since you where 5 years old is a treasure i will always cherish in my heart and mind. Jean you will be deeply missed, i can only find comfort in knowing that you are with the Lord.

Take care kiddo , Love Birgit ,Benjamin and Joey Davis

I have known Jean since I was 4 years old. We hung out everyday untill I turned 10. After that I moved to security and we still kept in touch. Then I moved to fountain and we hung out even more and went bowling all the time, we talked on the phone frequently once he got sick. I never thought that god would actually take him home. Jean was my best friend and I will miss him every day for the rest of my life, he was always there for me.

To the Kinney Family from the Leipply family. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Jean. Just know you all are in our thoughts and prayers, and if we can do anything, please let us know. Love to all of you, and God bless.

My deepest sympathy to the Kinney family.

Our hearts are broken and our love is with the Kinney Family.

I'll miss your sweet shy smile, those times of laughter at the bowling alley with you and your family. You were truly an angel sent to earth!

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jean, I'm going to miss going home and hanging out with you. I had the opportunity over the last couple of years to get to know you. You are a good friend as well as a great volleyball player and loved having you on my team when we played football. What a blessing it was that he advanced in the priesthood. I'm sure he is serving the Lord in a higher calling now. I offer my condolences to the Kinney family and wish I could be there. I love you guys. Sincerely, Scott
