7/30/69–4/20/08

 

I’m the shine you see in the star, and ray of sun that starts your day. My love is always where you are.

Dad and Mom
You are so missed by your family and friends.

 

Dad,

You taught me so much in life and there’s so much you had left to teach. Although you were taken what seems like a long four years ago, I can still hear your voice and see your smiling face. So many things we had yet to experience together and so many memories passed. You will forever be in mind steering me in the semi-right direction. I only hope that I’m proving to be the best daughter. Love and miss you forever and always.
                                                                                                                                        Your little girl

 Charlie,

Wish you were here. You are always in my heart and thoughts, and are forever loved and missed.

Until we meet again, little brother,
Scott

 

Charlie,

A caring brother and outdoorsman that is missed.

Love, Brian

 

Uncle Charlie,

Wish you were here to meet Karleigh. You would have loved her. We miss you like crazy and someday we will see you again.

Love You,
Fred, Karleigh and Ashleigh

 

Uncle Charlie,

We wish you could see our children grow into young ladies. You would love them. They keep us on our toes. You are greatly missed. Love you!

Brian, Amy, Paige and Alexis

Linney, who passed away Thursday, Oct. 17. The bikers were among those who attended the man’s service at Pederson Funeral Home and later proceeded to his interment at Rosedale Memorial Park.

Linney, age 63, was a 1966 graduate of Rockford High School, who served in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War. He had a lifelong love of motorcycles and loved to ride his Harley with his wife, Ginny. He was a mechanic and proud owner of SuperCycle Engineering. His specialty was racing and repairing motorcycles.

The outdoorsman was also an avid hunter. He earned his pilots license and owned a 1964 Piper Cherokee. He is survived by his loving wife, Ginny Patterson; daughter, Jennifer Patterson; brother, sisters, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roger and Pearl Davenport; a sister, Donna Curice; and brother, Mark Davenport.

Lord light 40 beautiful candles,

And sing happy birthday for me.

His 11th birthday in heaven,

And I wonder what his wish will be.

Tell him that I love him and miss him,

And I can’t wait to see his smile.

Place a kiss upon his cheek,

And hold him for a while.

Happy 40th birthday, Chris!

Love, your family

From those who love you dear.

It doesn’t seem a year.

Please know you’re not forgotten,

Your spirit does remain.

Your ELE lives on,

And supports us through the pain.

ELE—Everybody Love Everybody!

You are so missed by your children Taylor and Trevor, your sisters and brothers, and all your other siblings, and friendship you shared with all who love you and your friends. “Rest In Peace.” The drums are still, the smoke has cleared, the battle’s done! Your loving Mom and Dad
