It's with a heavy heart that I share the heartbreaking news that my young son unexpectedly passed away recently. He was only 14. His mother and I are still struggling to come to terms with our loss. He was a great kid with a bright future ahead of him. Taken way too soon. Rest In Peace Kobe.

I wanted to share this information with my fellow Kennellers as there are some of you on here that have known me for many years and known a bit about my personal life/history over that time.

All I can say is, cherish every moment you have with the ones you love, make time for them, hug them and let them know you love them, because what my son's passing has shown is you never know when that moment will come.
So sorry to hear that mate, i cant imagine what your going through

Hey mate,
Just checking in on ya.
I haven't said much in this thread cause simply put I have no words.
But you have been in my thoughts.
I'm not even going to pretend to understand how you are feeling.
Losing a child, "sigh"
Anyway, keep going mate. Just keep going.

Cheers man, i am doing ok. Just trying to get on with life, without my son around. There is always going to be a void there but have to try get back to some "normality". Still have my moments, and will no doubt for a long time. It's not easy, but will get there.

Stay strong brother. Your son is always around you as a guardian angel - don't ever forget that. He's closer to you more than you can possibly fathom. I know it's tough, but with his spirit within you, he will help you carry on. Your Kennel family is here for you too.
