Well now, let me tell ya, there’s a man we all knew around here by the name of Kelvin Jerome England. Born in Newton, North Carolina, way back on August 29th, 1972. He grew up in the Hickory area, and that’s where he made his home till the very end. Kelvin wasn’t no stranger to anyone, always around, kind of man you could rely on if you needed a hand with something. He lived for 51 years, but oh, on June 10th, 2024, he left us all too soon. It’s a real heartbreak, I’ll tell ya that.

People around town, they ain’t never gonna forget Kelvin. He was one of them folks who always had a good word for ya, no matter how bad his own day was. That’s the kinda person he was. Now, it was a sad, sad day when word spread that Kelvin had passed. From what I hear, he was taken from us too early, the victim of a shooting. The police did their part, and they arrested a 28-year-old fella by the name of Bricson Cliffton Lineberger. You never expect somethin’ like that to happen in your own hometown, not to someone like Kelvin. It’s just all so senseless and painful.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to pay your respects to Kelvin, there’s plenty of ways you can do that. His obituary’s been posted up, and folks can leave their condolences for the family. It’s always nice to share some kind words, make sure the family knows that people care. Whether it’s a memory, a prayer, or just a simple note, it means the world to the ones left behind.
As for the funeral service, well, you can check for details in the local papers or online. The family’ll be makin’ sure folks know when and where they’ll be sayin’ their final goodbyes. We all know how tough it is when someone leaves us, especially when it’s sudden like this. But, we’ve got to keep those memories close, and hold on tight to the good times we had with Kelvin. He may be gone, but he ain’t never gonna be forgotten.
If you’re one of those people who liked to hang around with Kelvin, or maybe you knew him from work or the local church, you’ll understand when I say he was just a regular man who made a big difference. Sometimes the quiet ones are the ones who do the most for folks, even if it ain’t always obvious. That was Kelvin — kind, helpful, and always ready with a smile. He’ll be missed more than words can say.
So, let’s all take a minute to remember him. Keep his family in your prayers, and don’t forget, life’s too short. We never know when our time’s up, so it’s important to make every moment count, just like Kelvin did. Rest easy, Kelvin, you’ll always have a place in our hearts.
