K.C. loved serving in the Air Force as did his entire family. After separating from the service, he gave his family license plates that sported an Air Force logo stating, “Serving Your Family; That’s What My Family Does.” Service represents the essence of K.C.’s character. In High School he supported his friends through difficult times. During his time at Dyess, he taught Bible Study classes. He took care of elderly neighbors in Stamford, Texas. He taught healthy cooking and encouraged others in exercise. During their time in Idaho Karl and Lisa loved riding horses together and assisted in some of the wild horse roundups. His sense of adventure led him to snow camping, tubing on the river, hikes with Lisa and enjoying the outdoors. He was also an accomplished artist, specializing in pen and ink and charcoal drawings. Always trying to make others laugh, he’d stay connected to family by texting and sending jokes. K.C. was generous, always serving and helping others. He is remembered by his family as a loving husband, son, and brother. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of his favorite songs. Karl is home now, enveloped in the loving arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
