Thoughts and prayers to the family. Sheila Slade Wright and Family

I knew Zeke from when my younger Son went to school. I also worked with him at Northeast campus. He was nice guy and a good resourse officer. Continued Prayers for his family

My prayers are with you and the Ezekiel family during this time and always. "Zeke" as he was known by the Eitson family was just that, "One of the family". My father taught him to drive charter buses. We had that and cooking in common. It's truly devastating to hear this news. I know for sure he's resting well and smiling from ear to ear with his beloved mother. Take comfort in knowing to be absent from this body is to be present with The Lord. Stay Blessed and Strong. Twyla Eitson and Family

Dear family, I met Joe while working at Horizon Academy. It did not matter where I saw him, he was always so friendly and glad to see me. Joe was always so kind. When he rescued Mrs. Pearman from the fire in her home I was not the least bit surprised. He even attended her husbands funeral in recent years. I would see him driving the bus everyday before I retired. He always waved or acknowledged me. May our God of comfort and peace bless you in the days to come. My prayers are with you. Howard H. DuVall

So sorry to hear about your loss, praying for the family. May God strengthen you and your family at this difficult time. Virginia Smith Brown

Jennifer,my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the family. Ms. Brenda Smith Williams

Jennifer you have my deepest sympathy with Joseph's passing. I met him in 1978 where we stationed together in Germany. He always had a smile on his face and was always very kind. "Old Soldiers Never Die They Just Fade Away". May God continue to bless your entire family during this difficult time.

Edward Valentin and Family

Jennifer, you and your family have my deepest sympathy. May God strengthen you during your time of bereavement. God is able, just lean on Him. His classmates of "1976"

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
