In Memoriam of Khephra

[Hawkeye-X]

(as known as) Scott Lowrey

Too cute, that was you, when you were a kid

Too funny the things that you said and you did



Too hard were your teen years (too much for this mother)

Too soon I would learn you were not like your brother.



Too accident-prone, lots of bruises and scars

And too many visits to docs and ER’s.



We loved you too much, but – invariably -

The wrong time, the wrong place you managed to be! J



Too tragic, too crippling, the loss of your dad

Too young, you and Christy, to save what you had



Too headstrong, determined, you did things your way

Too good at your work, and too carefree at play.



Too much time we wasted on opposite ends

Not too late, we learned, we were very close friends J J



Too courageous your “can-cure,” your struggle to win

Too long did you fool them – again and again!



Too brave to give up, but too sick to go on

You left us too early in the hours before dawn



We’ll see and remember you each way we turn

We know you’ll rejoice as you watch Kendra learn



Too huge is that hole in our lives, where you were

She’ll fill it with me, I’ll fill it with her.



We’ll fill it with friends you made ‘long the way

We’ll think of your smile, and smile back every day



You were quite sentimental, a real mushy guy

You’d end every phone call “much love” … “love ya –bye!”



Your humor, your music, your quick witty ways

Will live on in Kendra the rest of her days



Your greatest achievement, the source of your pride

Will go through her life with your spirit inside



Though too soon we lost you, You’ll NEVER be gone

Too huge – and forever- our love will go on.


You will not be forgotten.

1. Thanks. I was just thinking of him a few hours ago. I miss him.

He really made DU the "go to" place for information that we needed.

Duis still great, but it's not what it would be if Kephra were still here.

To a great guy!

2. Thanks, HawkeyeX

3. I spent a lot of time wondering just how he did it.

Hell, I wandered around this site for more than 2 years before I figured out how to even post.

Khephra would just jet-stream-channel all the best stuff.

Got me hooked.

Thank you, Scott.

4. Outstanding tribute and well deserved...

It was his posting that got me to finally register with DU. I had been lurking for a long time, but his LBN stuff was so good that I realized that DU was the place for me. RIP Kef, gone but never forgotten.

7. TOONS by Khephra

I REALLY looked forward to Khephra's political toon line-up. He would assemble a great layout.

8. Do you mean

Nostamj? I don't remember toons from Keph, although he was such a prolific poster I'm sure I could have missed them.

Another big loss for DU.

:(

[Submariner]

10. I believe you're right....I stand corrected

BUT, I followed both their posts and thought Keph did toons too. Both are sorely missed.

[LWolf]

13. Yes.

Ironically, the 3 DUers who are now gone are 3 of the first I connected with here. It is a different place without them.

9. I miss Kheph

He kept us informed.
