Holy Smokes Catering BBQ and Country Cookin’

Thank you does not seem strong enough for the amount of love and prayers that have been shown to us during this difficult time in our life. I am going to be transparent about this journey now and in the future because I cannot let this painful journey be in vain. Addiction sucks! I can only speak from my perspective as the family member dealing with the addict. As I’ve been on this road, I am learning it also sucks for the addict. I know that God is going to use my pain and maybe bring hope to another family going through the same thing. This journey must be talked about because being silent lets addiction win and I’m not going to let that happen. I have always held feelings in, out of fear, wondering what people would think. I said I would be transparent and that’s what I will do. My brother was very giving and did so without hesitation, especially with his niece and nephew. As the addiction controlled him, he became homeless and passed away with only the hand me down clothes he was wearing. I am filled with a range of emotions from anger to total sadness. With the range of emotions, the anger wants to say the heck with it but that isn’t who I am nor was I raised like that. So with tears in my eyes as I type this, I want to be able to give my brother a proper burial. If I don’t, I can never completely heal. If you feel led to help us with these unexpected expenses, we have set up a Go Fund Me. I am thankful for each of you for standing in the gap for us during this time.

Love,
Kenny

Well Dacula. The day I knew would eventually come is near. After 22 years of business we will be retiring from Holy Smokes at the end of the year. I did not make this decision lightly and I fought it hard. Dacula has been so good to me and patient as I learned to be a business owner. I can say that God used this business to strengthen my faith and taught me that I have to be totally dependent on Him. Food service has an extremely high failure rate and to be in business for 22 years is a great blessing and I can say God has been faithful. My motivation for opening the business was to get to work alongside my children. I got to do that and now they are on their own and blazing their own trails. I loved every minute I got to work with them although they were not always happy about it.

I do not know what the next chapter holds at this moment but I trust God and know He has great plans for me. Holy Smokes has been the baby I birthed and watched grow. I could not have done it without some amazing staff. I got to pour into people and enjoyed cheering them on as they pursued their own dreams and goals. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us for all these years. I am humbled that I got to live out a dream. I am a thankful for my parents who fully supported me along the way. They always believed in me and got to enjoy the business. They have both passed but the joy they had seeing me live out my dream is something I am beyond grateful for.
The best is yet to come!!!
