91裸聊视频淢aking everybody91裸聊视频檚 day, really. That91裸聊视频檚 what he would do most of the time.91裸聊视频�

That was how Seth Cowan described what his good friend Rob (Red) Konkle was best-known for. Cowan91裸聊视频檚 sentiment, and variations of it, were expressed by all those who spoke at Konkle91裸聊视频檚 memorial in Salmon Arm on April 1.

About 50 people showed up at the site of the outdoor Food with Friends lunches behind the Crossroads Free Methodist Church for a pizza lunch 91裸聊视频� reportedly one of Rob91裸聊视频檚 favourites 91裸聊视频� and to share their thoughts and feelings about their friend. T-shirts had been made up with a red dragon emblem on the front, red to symbolize his nickname based on his red hair, and a dragon, because 91裸聊视频渉e was a fan of dragons,91裸聊视频� as Cowan said.

Konkle was sometimes living rough and always an advocate and support for others who were, according to many of the people attending.

Lieut. Joel Torrens, pastor with the Salvation Army in Salmon Arm, made note that the memorial was on April 1, April Fool91裸聊视频檚 Day.

91裸聊视频淚 think that has a special significance for all of those who knew Rob, who loved him.91裸聊视频�

Torrens referred to his sense of fun, how when work began on the community garden outside the Salvation Army building on 3rd Street SW, Rob was the first to offer help, complete with his characteristic sense of humour.

91裸聊视频淗e said he was going to go get little tombstones and put them in the mounds that we had, to decorate it for the community. I think he would love that today is the day we91裸聊视频檙e gathered together remembering him.91裸聊视频�

Torrens emphasized that people should not deal with their loss alone, but with strength from God or other community members. He said a prayer of gratitude.

91裸聊视频淭hank you for him at his best, when he was helping us out, when he was fighting for us, when he was fighting with us. We thank you for him at his worst, when he was driving us crazy. We thank you for all the memories that we have, Lord91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚 pray for us down here who are figuring things out without Rob. I pray you can help us to find comfort, you can help us to find strength, that you can help us to know how to show love to one another in this time, God91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

On March 6, Konkle, a pedestrian at the time, was struck by a vehicle during an altercation between four people that ended with the vehicle running into a cement pole near the Starbucks drive-thru. Although a police report at the time said those involved in the altercation suffered only minor injuries, that was not the case. Konkle died on March 11 at 53.

One person said although not everyone knew it, Konkle had a strong faith in God.

Monica Kriese described him as a very kind person with a big heart, whose goal was to become a counsellor so he could help people realize their potential.

Like several speakers, one person called him a brother.

91裸聊视频淗e91裸聊视频檚 never gone now. He91裸聊视频檚 always with me. Always with us. He91裸聊视频檇 help whoever needed help. That was Rob. Rob was there. Didn91裸聊视频檛 matter what the situation was. He was always there. There91裸聊视频檚 no blame anywhere. That91裸聊视频檚 Rob. He just did what he needed to do. But we do need some blaring music somewhere.91裸聊视频�

A poem written hurriedly by Dave Adams, who has been living rough, was met with tears and applause.

It characterized Rob Konkle as a sheep dog without a shepherd.

This is an excerpt: 91裸聊视频淗e always tends his flock and he keeps the wolves at bay. And his job is never-ending, his flock stretches further than the eye can see91裸聊视频�It is the purpose for which he was born, the job that both binds him and sets him free91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�
