To the Adkisson family, I just came across this information online today while trying to reach out to momma Adkisson on the anniversary of kelvin’s funeral as I do ever year on this day. I am totally lost for words. I wish I would have known. I would have drove down for the funeral. My family is uplifting yours in prayer. Kelvin is my brother from another mother and I love my Adkisson family. Love you all and I’m truly sorry for the lost of Byron. Love Dre
