Sean's Funeral

Kevin's brother Sean passed away unexpectedly on October 5, 2012. Here is the obituary that ran in the Lewiston tribune after his death:

Sean Cameron Kellogg passed away unexpectedly Oct. 5, 2012, at his home in Genesee. He was 38. He was born in 1974 in Cody, Wyo., to Gary and Randi Kellogg.

Sean was active in the scouting program and earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in the California Riverside Mission. He was very active in his church. Sean graduated from Grangeville High School, earned his associate's degree from Ricks College and graduated from the School of Accountancy at Brigham Young University. At the time of his death he was employed by Walmart.

Sean is survived by his parents, three brothers, three sisters and 10 nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at the LDS Stake Center on Blaine Street in Moscow. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the National epilepsy Foundation or the charity of one’s choice.

Sean

Sean lived with Kevin's parents in Genesee, ID., which is 2 hours from here so we had been fortunate since we moved to Spokane to see him frequently. This made his death especially difficult for Josie and Conor, as they loved him dearly. We had a rough 2 weeks as we dealt with the emotions and the funeral. We are so grateful for the knowledge we have of the eternal blessing of forever families that brings peace to our hearts. Thanks to all the wonderful support from families and friends, so many people have been so gracious and understanding.

All of Kevin's brothers and sisters were able to attend the funeral, as well as Aunt Deb and Aunt Jan. It was really nice to be able to get together as we see each other so infrequently. The funeral was held the following Wednesday on a beautiful fall day.
