Karen and Paul,
I have so many incredible memories of Monte. He was a true friend to me growing up at Broadway. He had such a beautiful and kind heart. My fondest memory of him was his appearance at my brother’s funeral, where he made sure he showed up to show his love and support for his friend. It was well after high school (we still kept in touch and as a single mother he looked in on me) and he made sure I knew he was there for me. We often hung out and just talked for hours. I miss those times with him. He was the funniest person I ever knew and brought so much joy to my life at times when I truly needed it!
I lost touch with him, and had trouble finding him. I’m sad to hear of this news and of your loss. It is truly a loss for us all. He will always be someone special in my life-someone I will never forget.
God bless you both and Rest In Peace my friend.

Karen and Paul, Add our names to the list of those who mourn with you over the loss of your precious son. Monte was a beautiful child and a handsome, kind and sensitive young man. We have many fond memories of him being in our home and at church. Our last time to see him was in Atlanta when he came to comfort us when we lost Paul. We will never forget the love he expressed to us and we certainly will never forget him. We look forward to that wonderful day when we will never have to say goodbye. With Prayers for Healing, Carlene and Buddy Kalb
So sorry to hear of the passing of Monte. I remember growing up thinking of him and Beth as the "big kids" who were so cool and watching out for all of us, littles. Thinking of all of you and the great childhood that we all were fortunate to experience growing up in a safe place full of love and laughter and some crazy neighborhood parades. May you find comfort and peace as you remember his life. Sincerely, Rachel

I am so sorry to hear of Monte's death. I will always remember his gentle spirit and how he shared his fort with us, and my freshman year prom double date with him! May you be comforted by all of these posts during this difficult time.

Wow. This was totally unexpected for me. I'm so sorry Aunt Karen and Uncle Paul. Austin and I are praying for you and his family.
Paul and Karen, I am so saddened to hear about Monte. It still puts a smile on my face thinking about how mad he would get at me when I was little and called him Monkey because I couldn’t say Monte. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his boys.

I remember how He would say,
"Lord willnem, right Aunt Rae?" Heart hurts for all of us...
Paul and Karen, I am so very sorry for your loss. Trying to find words, but there aren't any. Monte had one of the best smiles around. His many, many old friends from youth group days are remembering him fondly and grieving his passing today.
I’m so sorry for your loss. A great man will be missed!
Dear Paul and Karen,

I am so sorry for this great loss. Like many others I have thought about Monte and Beth Ann over the years. So many fond memories from our youth! My prayers will continue for you all as you grieve this tremendous loss!

Paul and Karen, I am so sad to hear of Monte’s passing, he was such a fun kid to grow up with and I have so many fond memories of him in our youth. I’ve thought of him often over the years and always thought I would run into him some time so we could catch up. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you have been since Beth Ann passed. Much love to you both and all those who loved Monte. S
My heart breaks for Monte's family. I know the entire class of 88 will be thinking of you in this time of great sorrow.
We are so sorry to hear about Monte’s death. We have fond memories of him when we lived across from you. We will be praying for both of you. Roger and Kay
Paul and Karen. We are so sorry to hear about Monty. We loved him and have many great memories! He had such a great personality and was so fun to be around! Our prayers are with both of you. Dan and Carol Collins
Many prayers and hugs being sent your way Pops.... at least his sister was there waiting for him in Heaven. Love and prayers to all of the family. Stacy (In Raytown)
