Keeping the Dream Alive
From Eyewitness News 9 (Greenville, SC)
Three months after the murder of a Kinston man, his family continues to relive the nightmare. They watched him die after being shot by a teenager.
It's an everyday struggle for them. As they begin to heal, they are getting support from members of the community -- through their love for country music.
Twenty-eight-year-old Kris Carlyle went to Nashville, Tennessee to make it as a country singer. Tragically, that's where his life ended. Now, it's his family's mission to make his memory and music live on.
Kris Carlyle knew what he wanted to do with his life, and the rising country musician was on his way to making it happen. Now his family is making sure his legacy lives on.
And keeping Carlyle's dream alive is helping them heal day by day.
If you'd like a copy of Kris Carlyle's CD, you can call the Smith family at 252-286-7706. Or you can email them at thesmiths03@cox.net.
The CD is $5, and the family is putting the proceeds toward burial expenses. There is a Kris Carlyle memorial fund. You can donate by going to any Nations Bank.
