My heart is very sad to hear Kit passed. He was a child hood friend and my stepbrother when Henry was married to my mother Lil. Have not seen him for so many years, but always love and miss him. We had so many fun times. I will remember those times always.
Sue and family, know he remains in our hearts always.
Love, Madelyn Hileman Howard.

Kit was a kind soul. Quite, easy going. Prayer to Kit’s extended family at his lose.
A light has gone out in our family. Kit made every family gathering fun with his escapades, whether it be hanging a live crawfish from his earlobe at a crawfish boil or scaring one of us unsuspecting souls with his grotesque Halloween masks. We will never forget “The Well Monster” a scary recording he played while we were sitting around the fire at our deer camp called Attacore. He made the recording himself using his own sound effects, crunching potato chips to sound like walking through dead leaves and running his shower for raindrops. He especially loved to torment his mother, aka Aunt Sweet. The good memories of him are many and we are so grateful to have known and loved him. Dang! (one of his favorite words). Why did you have to leave us so soon cuz?
Heartfelt prayers and condolences to you all. Rest in Peace Kit.🙏🏼
We’re so sorry for the heartache you’re going through due to the loss of Kit. He was always fun to be around and a kind soul. Wade thought a lot of his friendship with Kit and misses him already. I’ll keep you in my prayers and hope your memories you two shared will bring you comfort. Love you, sweet Ann!
Sending prayers for your entire family!
🙏🙏🙏
Ann and family
We lost one of the good ones. My thoughts, heart and prayers are with you all.
