Kelly, here is the poem I said I wrote and said I would post. I love you and miss you so much. Love Mom

The Spartan

Do not cry for me, For I will survive
Even in the face of death I do not fear
My destiny is clear
For it is my salvation

From fear I will not run
For on the battlefield
I will raise my shield
And fight for freedom

In the light of day
Even in the dark of night
I can see my way
My sacrafice will set me free

When the cry of victory is in my reach
And only when my sword falls silent
Will the trumpets sound
And that will be my last battle cry

For Honor, For Glory
By Faith, With His Grace
God will grant me peace
For eternal life.

Kelly and I grew up in Elementary school together and I just remember all the great times we had playing football outside during recess and going to Air Force games with him. Gunnar, Kelly and I would all hang out at Gunnar's house and come up with some crazy games to play. When i found out he was gone a few days ago when i came to visit I couldn't believe it. Kelly was a great person and an even better person.

Dear Kelly,
I love you and miss you very much. Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts and prayers. I miss your smile and the way you made me laugh. I will miss Christmas tree hunting with you and will miss watching you play football. I miss our talks, i'm so glad for the things that you could confide in me with and so sorry for the things you couldn't. Just know I could never be mad or angry at you. I wish I could hold you one more time or hear your voice? You are a very sweet boy and loved everyone so much. And even though you lived with your dad and stepmom
Flo, do not think for one minute I never wanted you with me, it's just that they could provide for you better and put you in better schools than I could. But I looked forward to you and Kathryn coming over and will cherish all our time together forever. I have a poem started entitled The Spartan that I will post later. Just
know we will be together again. I love you. Mom

Kelly was my first crush in the 3rd grade and had been one of my best friends through elementary school. He made me so happy and we shared great times. He was not a boring guy at all. I'm terribly sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kelly was one of those people you are lucky to come across; one in a million. I remember the first time we ever hung out. Kayla was there. I remember the smile he put on her face. After that day, she was the happiest girl on earth. He always knew how to make everyone smile, even at the worst of times. He had the gift of luaghter & happiness. I just got close to him again, about a month before he passed away. He made my problems so much easier, because he helped me through them. He was truly an amazing man.

I am so sorry for those of you in grief, and I wish you all the best. Kelly is in God's hands, watching over each and every one of us; protecting us and smiling down on us.

R.I.P,
Kelly Shane Youngers.

To our dear Youngers family,
Our hearts have ached since hearing the news. We only wish we were closer to help carry the weight of your loss but your Uncle Chris will be there soon. What a precious son in Kelly, we all fell in love with the handsome, kind and fun loving teenager who visited us last summer and danced on the grass with me, his great aunt, at the Tsillan Cellars Concert. He touched so many and that is why God put him here.
"A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam, And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again, And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it." Kelly is that butterfly to our family.
We love you.
Uncle Chris & Aunt Lindee Akers

I am so sorry to hear about Kelly. He probably didn't even remember me, but I remember him well. He was a bright, energetic fourth grader in my class at Mark Twain. He was always creative and I looked forward to his smile to start each day. He found trouble occasionally, but he never stopped trying to do his best. I will remember him fondly.

Kelly was my boyfriend of 11 months he was an absolutly amazing person, he cared about everyone and talked to everyone in their time of need. Kelly had so much potentail and could work wonders in our world. It's like the prayer footprints in the sand, when kelly looked around he did not see god because through his troublesome times god carried him. Kelly was one of those people you come around once in a lifetime the kind you can never find. My prayers are with the youngers family David Flo Angela Keith Kevin Kathryn and all the friends that stood beside him. We all love you Kelly
