My thoughts and prayers are with the family. This world has lost one amazingly funny, loving and kind hearted person. I feel so blessed to have known him. May you rest in peace my dear friend…rest in peace…
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ashley and the whole family. God blessed us when he sent Sloan walking through our doors for a job and over the years that relationship grew into friendship. This man was kind, generous, funny and had a wonderful spirit. We feel honored and blessed to call him friend. The world may have lost this amazing man but God and the heavens gained a beautiful blessed spirit. Rest in peace Sloan and know you were loved!
Ashley and family, my heart aches. As you are well aware that Sloane touched many lives. I have many fond memories of Sloane and am grateful and honored to have been allowed to share a piece of his life. May time heal your sorrow. May the memories of the angel you had on earth comfort you until you meet again. He will always be with you!
We are so sorry for your loss and are thinking of you during this time. Hold tight to the many wonderful memories you share of your short time with Sloane. We are with you in spirit during this time of grief. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

I taught and coached Sloane and Kenesaw while he was in high school. Although I hadn’t had the chance to visit with Sloane since those high school days, I remember him as a great kid with a perpetual smile. He was a genuine friend to all who knew him. Rachel and I send our prayers to Sloane’s family during this difficult time.
As Sloane’s Kindergarten and Second Grade teacher I always thought of Sloane as a fun, energetic, caring boy. As I watched him mature into a wonderful young man and graduate from Kenesaw High School he left us all with wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are being sent to friends and family.
I knew Sloane from MCC. He was a great person and so much fun. I’m sorry for your loss.
Ashley we love you and will always love Sloane. I will never forget the first time I met Sloane I thought wow that man working at Hy-vee is tall. Ashley told me not to stare. I told her i was going in for a closer look. Sloane had a great deep laugh a smile that would light up a room and a big bear hug. He loved like no other and would listen to any story you had to tell. He was easy going and could shoot the bull with a complete stranger longer if he knew you. He loved his girls sasha, sophie and his wife Ashley. He loved to make beer. Won several awards for his own recipe his beer was amazing one and done if u were a light weight that is. Sloane loved is Red Dodge truck I remember driving through car lots to look at baby Ashley and I were told we were going to get icecream but some how we got sidetracked. I could go on and on about the times with Sloane. The one thing that needs to be said is Sloane we are so proud of you for fighting this horrible disease, you and Ash never gave up. May you rest easy with a large pint of your brew, I loved the orange one the most, a big screen tv watching Payton play for the Broncos and until we meet again know we love you so much. Cousins forever oh yah you still have to watch over Ashley every single day. You are her gaurdian angel in heaven.
My deepest condolences to all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart goes out to Sloane’s family during this difficult time. I remember him as such a happy and active child. He was a joy to my Grandmother, Dorothy, and will be remembered. My prayers are with you.
I knew Sloane from school days back in Kenesaw. He was a great friend and teammate. His great wit and sense of humor will not be forgotten. Sloane was just a great guy to be around and someone who would give you the shirt off his back. He had a heart of gold. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Although I haven’t seen Sloane since our high school days in Kenesaw, I remember him fondly. We had a lot of fun together in our church’s youth group. He was very warm and friendly and always had a witty comeback to make everyone laugh. God bless his family, and may you take comfort in the fact that this good-bye is only temporary. RIP, Sloane.
Sloane was a forum member at The Brewing Network and we have all been wondering what happened to him. Now we are crushed. RIP.
