I never really personally knew Kj and don't remember much...I used to go to creative Minds when i was younger; but what i do remember of him is that When the creative minds bus would drop us off Kj would always be right up there in the front of the bus with his daddy, He seemed to really look up to him.
I looked at some of the pics displayed in the gallery and i do remember that smile of his. =D After reading all the comments about him and how he had touched so many lives i would have considered it a blessing to have known him personally.
McKinster Family, i just want to say that even in the little visits i have had with you at my sandwhich shop, I am always so blessed to see your faces, there is just something about you that is very special and i am certain that Kj was blessed as well. You have a wonderful family.
I will be praying for you guys, God bless you!
Sincerely,
Ciara

My son, Eli Webber, attended Creative Minds near Stark St. in 2000/2001 and we got a chance to get to know your family during that time. You guys were always so nice and welcoming, and such a neat family. I was deeply saddened last year when I heard of KJ's death and you have frequently been in my thoughts ever since. I donated to KJ's cause knowing how important it would be to him. It's a great way to honor his memory.

hey, My name is Alexandra Gagnon and I was in K.J.'s 6th grade class at Walt Morey Middle School. Our teacher was Mrs. Crockett. K.J. and Him and I were friends i guess. The day he died I was really upset. And I just want to say sorry for your loss. And You all seem like such a strong family. And I wish you all the best!!
Sincerly,
Alexandra

The earth has rounded the sun once since I held him. People come to my door asking if he lives here. I say no, but touch my heart and say, "he lives here, would you like me to tell you about him?" They always say yes!!! Then, I tell them the legend of the "Bug"..... lighting wheels, smiles winning or losing, love and respect for all.... tapping the back of his helmet saying "follow me!!" What a life!. What a young man! Love to you KJ Grandpa Bill

McKinster Family- I hope you are doing well... I know there is nothing that will ever dull the pain of losing a loved one. KJ was an awesome kid, and his legacy lives on in our hearts forever. God works in mysterious ways, but KJ's memories makes us all remember to make the most out of every moment. The racing community will never forget the McKinster's...
Godspeed-

I was a very new, young Chaplain for Benton County last year when KJ passed away. I was called to Kadlec Medical Center and I knew right away that it would be an emotionally difficult day for me. When I got to the hospital I first met KJ's grandfather and his young sister and my heart just melted with how sincere that little girl was. After I met KJ's mother and father, I was immediately struck by what a beautiful young family they were and how close they seemed to be with one another. I had to oportunity to speak to them that day and one thing that stuck with me was their love for each other, and at one point Jackie was talking about where they'd go from there... and it was brought up to turn it into something as beneficial and positive as possible so they could honor KJ and let him serve as an example and inspiration to others. I was so happy to see that the McKinsters have done just that with this site and foundation.
Almost a year later I still think of KJ and his family often, and right now my husband and I are expecting our first child, a boy, in mid-June. I also found out on your site today that my husband has the same birthday as KJ! If I could have one wish for my new family it would be that we are as blessed with the happiness and love for each other that the McKinster's have. Thank you for being such a great example of a family faced with tragedy but making the best of it and remaining close.

As the wrestling season approaches I find myself thinking more and more about KJ - initially excited at the thought of running into the McKinster family at a tournament - followed by sadness knowing it won't come to pass. I think of KJ often and at those moments, I, like so many others am challenged to be a better. A better Mom; to be more patient with my boys - to have a passion for racing and all that they do - to be more kind and soft spoken - to see good in all things. KJ was wise beyond his years. Ken, Jackie, Sierra, Zach and your extended family my heart goes out to you, may you all find comfort in the Lord.
