Patty and I are so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing, Chris. We will be out of town, and unable to attend the service, but want you to know we’re thinking of you, and praying for the entire Heckadon family. I never met your dad, but I’m sure he was an incredible guy. Out hope is that fond memories of life with your dad will live on forever.

The Heckadon Family: So sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved husband and father. I knew Duck when I worked for the Navy in Olathe. He had a wonderful sense of humor and I recall his deep devotion to his boys. My prayer is that you find comfort and peace from our Lord at this time.
So sorry for your loss. My prayers continue for the entire Heckadon family. May God grant you His peace.
