I’m so sorry for your loss of Mr. Hall. He was my choir teacher my senior year (1999-2000) and he took us all the way to the College of the Ozarks competition and we did AWESOME! I’ll never forget the things he taught me…both about music and about life…and I’ll always remember him as one of my absolute favorite teachers. I actually wish I hadn’t waited till my senior year to take his class! I’ll never forget him or the impact he had on my life as long as I live. He took a lonely kid with no friends and no apparent direction in her life and built her up so she could handle the world once she left his class room. Mr. Hall. I don’t know if you can hear me up there or not, but from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul THANK YOU for caring and for loving us!

My family and I would like to send our deepest condolences to Jordan and Clayton and the rest of their family as well. Jordan and Clayton, I pray that the Lord surrounds you with happy thoughts? loving memories? and a comforting peace from above. Mr. Hall was truly an amazing teacher that honestly cared. My two eldest son’s had class with him and both said the same exact thing about him, “He was my favorite teacher and I will miss him very much.” Gage Hutchison ? Elijah Hawkins ? Elizabeth Crews ?
