Kane Sparks was a great kid who we had the pleasure of spending time with. When we first met it was actually at our house for our "Friends-giving" this past November 1st. Little Gabbie, his girlfriend, asked if it was okay for her to bring a plus one if she brought an extra banana bread that she made. He sat by the firepit enjoying meeting everyone in our local group, passing around a microphone with friends and even my grandson while we sang Karaoke after we ate a huge Thanksgiving potluck meal. His smile was contagious and you could see that reflect directly in his love for Gabbie Allen in the following months.

Several weeks later, the day after Thanksgiving, my wife and I had just rolled out of the carport for a ride around town only to get a picture sent to us from inside our house! Gabe, Autumn, Gabbie and Kane right at home on the couch and at the kitchen table. Needless to say, I know why they were there already and I replied back to them where to find the leftovers, plates and utensils (Not like I really had to tell them where to look) 🤣🤣🤣. We have a rather loose open door policy for our family of friends where they are always welcome to come hang out, enjoy a meal, or crash out if they need to.
Folks, don't get me started on the Co****le games. Although I didn't often participle, this boy would give everyone a run for that belt and he wore it proudly.
Prayers go out to our local community, our friends and his family for comfort in these difficult times. This is a hard one to get thru for many because he has such a positive impact on so many people.

There will be a GoFundMe link pinned in the comments to assist in times of this unexpected loss. There will be a celebration of life for Kane in the coming days which we will share a well as a memorial ride TBA at a later date.

Share your love for your family of friends because you never know when their light may fade. Gone in a flash or flicker out over time. Hold them close and know that they will be there with you thru every ride down the road.
