He was insightful, thoughtful, and funny and this is just from reading his posts. He always seemed to respond when I was a new poster, wish I could have met him. Rest In Peace my friend. Prayers for his family.

Unreal. Loved his posts. I'll miss him.

OMG!! That's awful...I, too, only knew him by reading his posts here....

:(

Geez... sucker punch to the gut. :'(

KD... always a calm, level-headed spirit... I just finished reading the News-Sentinel article, but we would all know that he was most proud of his work along the Fairfield Stadium sidelines.

Tattoo or pdunn... any funeral arrangements info you can pass along??? I don't know that I can get away, but I'm sure going to make an effort. (Tattoo, are you even in K-ville anymore?... I thought I'd read that you're back in WV...???)

Truly sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.

Here's a link to a photo of him and Reggie Oliver

Terrible tragedy, sorry to hear. Hopes are w/ his family and friends. A great loss for all herd fans.

Wolf et al... we should do a Big Green contribution in KD's honor, don't you think? How do we organize that?

I feel so sad about this. It's been about 8 years since all of us were together... it's weird how deeply this green blood bonds us even now.

Photo By was a wonderful guy, a true herd friend. A couple of years ago when I was in Knoxville on a game day he invited me and my son to his home to watch a game. He was so gracious and nice. I pray for his family

Sturt, I want to do something in honor of him badly, but right now my head is so messed up over this loss i dont even know where to begin. What a tragedy.

I would like to say he was a class act, there was no act about him, he was just class. He posted as we all should. Prayers for family and friends.

alumni74 · « **Reply #36 on:** November 13, 2007, 09:38:40 PM »

My condolences to his family.... Maybe some one can post a picture in memory of him.

Like many of you - I'm heartbroken. KD was a very smart and creative man. More importantly, he was a wonderful person - kind; thoughtful; genuine.

I'm going to miss my friend.

God speed, KD.

This is just terrible. I never met him, but I could tell he was such a kind man; Just terrible. My prayers go out to his family.

The latest I have heard is that our friend is to be cremated and a memorial service will be held in Knoxville on Saturday. There will also be a memorial service Monday, 7:00 at the First Baptist Church in his hometown of Hurricane, WV.
Could we do a Photo/journalism scholarship at MU?

extragreen · « **Reply #40 on:** November 13, 2007, 10:06:08 PM »

I didn't know the gentleman. But from the responses here, I'm sure I would have enjoyed his company. May God bless all that are hurt by his leaving.

I did not know Mr. Lawson either, but the comments posted are very touching. May God bless his family in this time of tragedy.

Regardless of the subject matter, he always brought great wit and insight into his posts. He'll be missed very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. :(

I am in shock from the news in this thread! I never met him in person but he was one of those posters on here who you alwasy enjoyed reading his posts. I really hate to hear this.

<stunned>
I've very rarely felt this way about the passing someone I've never met (my regret).
No offense to anyone else, but he is (was - man that's hard to say) one of the big reasons I check this board every day. I know I don't post much, and most of it is useless, but I want to send my sincerest condolences to all of you who knew him well. I dislike posting "me too" comments, but this I think is ok.

No idea what to say anymore... That South Park avatar is indelibly linked in my mind with reading about the Herd.

DA4Dherd · « **Reply #46 on:** November 13, 2007, 11:10:29 PM »

He will be missed.

A friend, an educator, a talented photographer and a great Herd fan.

God bless his family and many friends....

Terrible, terrible news. I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Lawson but I felt as if I knew him. Rest peacefully sir
