Please join us in honoring the life and legacy of Staff Sergeant Edward Kesler, James’ dad, on his birthday.
Edward lived by three core values: faith, freedom, and family. These principles became the foundation for everything James, or “Jamie” as he called him, and 1019 stand for today.
He led with integrity, loved his family fiercely, and had a way of keeping things grounded, often reminding Jamie, “Just don’t be a knucklehead.”
His strength, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to what matters most continue to guide us every day.
Today, we remember and celebrate a life that left a lasting impact. We’re so grateful for the example he set and the legacy he carries on. 🎂
