For years I have spoken on the inpartial articles weekly in the Ashland Daily Independent, but for once, I will have to commend them for their article on Tim Carper and the loss of his loved one.

 

It was a touching story on a great community family. To lose a loved one is a hard thing, but to lose a young child (32 days old) has got to be a very, very hard experience.

 

Carter County is lucky to have such a great person and such a great announcer as Tim Carper.:thumb:

 

My family's heart and prayers go out to Mr Carper and his family.

 

"All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's PEACE." Isaiah 54:13

The ADI isn't available online yet, but I will be sure and read this story. I was listening to Tim doing a broadcast of the West Carter girls game the other night and a basketball was presented to him in memory of his child.I had no idea what had happened. My heart goes out to the Carper family. May God bless you.

Thanks for the kind words. Our "sports family" have been awesome during this difficult time. For those who would like to read the article, it can be found here

What a beautiful story of a family's love and faith. It brought tears to my eyes.

It was a great story. My heart goes out to the Carpers and their strength is amazing.

Just read the story this morning, my prayers go out for the Carpers. May the Lord bless in this difficult time. He has a new rose in his garden today!

Tim has always been a class guy. He makes countless contributions to our Scoreboard Show. All I've ever had to do is call him, and he takes the time to send anything we ask for, and usually goes above and beyond.

All of us here at KNN send our best to Tim, and his family. We look forward to working with him in the future, and our thoughts are with him now.

Tim is a class act in every way. He is a constant supporter and promoter of kids in our area. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
