Niles loved Jesus and this love was apparent to everyone who knew him. He made an incredible impact through his involvement in the church, his faith in God, and the influence of the Holy Spirit in his life. He brought warmth to the lives of everyone he touched. He loved his wife and children dearly, and spent his whole life sacrificing for them. With his bare hands he built a house and led a family. His loving marriage was a model for those who knew him.

He always laughed and joked with everyone. He really enjoyed life. He had a beautiful voice and loved playing the guitar for his family.

Niles Kinnick was our father and husband; he was our brother and uncle, he was a son and our friend. The sum of his life was spoken by the Apostle Paul: "Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ." 1Cor11:1. We love you, our beloved.

The funeral service was held on Aug. 7 at Ontario Community Christian Church. Burial followed in Bellevue Memorial Park.
