My Prayers go out to all KT’s loved ones. He was always such a great man and a gentleman. Truly sorry for the loss of him.
So sorry to hear of KT’s passing. We enjoyed knowing him through Brett and Keith at West Iredell. He spent time at our house. He loved my pizza! We were having breakfast at a restaurant in Statesville when all of a sudden he was hugging and saying hello mama!
