To the Pendley family I am so sorry for your loss of such a great person inside & out. You all definitely deserve to have a better year than last year with the loss of Daniel as well. Just know that there are lots of people out there praying for you all & are very sorry for your loss.

I've known Michael for years. We all went to school today at Eastfield back in the day & I'm just so sorry that this happened to him. Just know that he is in peace and hopefully you will find out exactly all of the details about what happened.

I'm very sorry your new year had to start out this way & I hope that you may get some closure now <3.

I wish people would quit writing about it .
Who needs to know how he died?
We [the family] are greatful everyone is keepin us in the prayers but all these forums about leads,and how he died is simply disrespectful.
Bad enough Sandy cant open a newspaper without seeing her sons face , now its all over the net.

I am sorry people are being disrespectful and rude. Michael was a very special person,when him and Daniel was in 7th grade they had to come to the High School every afternoon and do school work there. I was a senoir and would talk to them everyday. I didnt see michael for years, then one day he came to where I work and started talking to me as if no time had passed. He seemed so mature and very happy, I told him how proud of him I was and I'm glad I had the chance to. May God be with his family and those closest to him.

[sorry]

Nobody is forced to click on any of these forums. This is "Topix". and as unfortunate as the situation may be, this is a small town and the loss of Mr. Pendley is in fact a Topic. I am sure that there are no disrespectful intentions in the previous posts, and this is probably not a website that the family should be visiting right now in the first place.
