  85. Tommy & Tina (& Family)

    We knew Kolton for a shorter time than many but we knew his heart, his drive, his work attitude, his integrity, his strengths – and all these things made up the kind soul we know Kolton to be. Wrestling often reveals Character and you can be so proud of Koltons! You are wonderful parents. He was a good and decent young man and we are grateful he chose to be an Eagle.

    On behalf of the North Carolina Wrestling Factory Staff and Eagles,
