KF...

In the earlier ward triathlon blog post, I mentioned that a man in his 70s fell during the bike portion and broke his leg. Everyone just called him KF and he was the organizer of the triathlon. The coolest, most active old guy I ever knew. Merril and KF had become good friends because KF was always in Scouting and Young Mens. He never let his age slow him down and he and Merril did a 50-mile hike with the Scouts last year. This is the only picture I have of KF and it's during the 50-miler.

He was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery on his leg. Surgery didn't go well and his body started shutting down. He made it through surgery but was taken to the ICU. They decided to take him off life support last night and he died at around 10 p.m. When I found out about it, I couldn't really believe it because if ANYONE was going to pull through, it'd be KF. I guess the Lord just wanted his faithful servant back because he was awesome! Rock on, KF!! I'll miss you.
