What a tragedy, prayers and thoughts to the Winfield Community.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with Kiyon's Family and Friends and also with The Winfield Wrestling Club.

Derby Wrestling Club

I can't say that I knew his name, but always respected him as an intense, but classy, coach. Always a good sport, win or lose, and well respected. I can see how a guy like him can get a kid to wrestle hard for him. He really seemed like a great coach and I am sure that he will be sorely missed at Winfield and across the wrestling community. You can tell a coach that the kids really respect, and he was one of them.

Sad times we live in when a dispute is worth killing someone over.

Condolences from the Brawlers.........

From the Winfield Wrestling Club, we appreciate all your concerens and prayers for Kiyon and his family. He was a great, great guy. I'm thankful that I had the pleasure to know him, become friends, and coach along side of him. He meant alot to our family and the Winfield community.

I was just talking to Kiyon on Saturday at the JOC, this is tragic. He was a great guy and very enthusiastic about the sport and life. He will be missed.

Darick always looked forward to wrestling any Winfield kid because he enjoyed Kiyon. I didn't know him that well, but he seemed to have a good repore with the kids that he coached and the parents. Kiyon will be missed!
