b'Bulinda and Jerry Ebanks remember their two sons, Keith 89 andMichael 03, in everything they do, from random acts of kindness to planned gifts honoring their lives.T he business cards that Bulinda and Jerry Ebanks carry in their wallets look simple, but they hold a powerful meaning. Given to everyone for whom the Ebanks perform a kind act, the cards bear a picture of a cross and this message: This random act of kindness has been dedicated to the memory of two treasured young men, Keith and Michael Ebanks, who must live on through others.These young men, Keith 89 and Michael 03, are their sons, both Aggies, and both of whom lost their lives at a young age. Their oldest son, Keith, died in a car acci-dent in 1994, while their younger son, Michael, was one of the 12 victims of the 1999 Bonfire collapse. They were both incredible men, Jerry said. Both of us could talk about those two until the sun burns up.Now, whether they are showing kindness to others, attending an Aggie sporting event or talking with stu-dents, the Ebanks remember their sons in everything they do. They also recently established planned gifts in their sons honor as another way to keep their mem-ories alive.Two Treasured Young MenAlthough there was a 14-year age difference between Keith and Michael, both displayed common core qual-ities. They were honest, and both of them had incred-ible empathy for everyone, Jerry said. When they befriended someone, they treasured that friendship.Keith was the first Aggie in his family. He was laid-back, calm and happy-go-lucky, Bulinda said. He had a lot of friends and would do anything for anybody.An outdoorsman, Keith was a charter member of his Boy Scout troop and its first Eagle Scout. He spent every opportunity in nature, whether he was leading his Eagle Scout service project, mowing lawns, rock climbing or spelunking with friends, holding a crawfish boil for his neighbors, or hunting and fishing with his father.
