My heart goes out to Candace, Ryan and all of Lendsey's family. He was one of the most kind and caring people that I have ever met. We shared a friendship for many years, but the most special bond for 6 years. He taught me that you can love again after a broken heart. Laughing, crying, dancing in the living room, fishing, singing and Sunday morning breakfast together at the bay, memories that I will never forget and will always cherish and hold dear to my heart. RIP Lendsey! You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked many years with Lendsey and every morning I was greeted with a smile and he said something either nice, sweet or funny. That's the only way he knew how to act. I will miss him and my heart goes out to his family.

Thoughts and prayers for Candice, Ryan and Jennifer. He was truly an awesome dad and I bet an even better grandpa. I think Lendsey and my mom are very proud of who we have become in this world. All that’s left to do is make sure we pass down some of their traditions to our own children and so that our loved ones are always remembered.
