Family friend Guy Martin; "Kelly, partner, I know you're looking down on me today."
It was standing room only at the funeral for Kelly Wood, his wife Stephanie and their daughter Kaela Christiansen. Country music played as a reminder of the Wood's love of the music, the outdoors and each other.
"Country music, camping, hunting, fishing. They were a very loving family, very loving. They done everything together, Guy Martin continued.
And just as the family lived together, they also died together last week in their home, overcome by carbon monoxide. A gas generator in the garage was the culprit.
Greg Booher, Kelly Wood's cousin said, "But Kelly, you know, he probably put that thing in the garage so he wouldn't disturb the neighbors. That's the kind of guy Kelly was."
Kelly Wood's mother was too emotional to talk. But Kelly's cousin, Greg, relayed the message that Kelly's mother wants to get out. "Hopefully, people learn."
Although her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were all taken away too soon, she wants others to know that their loved ones can be saved simply by buying a carbon monoxide detector.
Greg Booher; "Three lives were taken. We don't know whose life is going to be saved, we don't know. She knows God has a plan for that."
Right now, this family is focusing on their love for each other -- remembering the good times.
The coroner wheeled the bodies out one by one -- the mother and daughter, then the father. In clear plastic bags, animal control officers collected the family's pets -- three dogs, two cats, and one chinchilla. An entire household was victimized by a gas generator in their garage.
Nevada Power confirms it disconnected power to the family's home Wednesday, although for privacy reasons can't specify why. Investigators say the Woods laid an extension cord from the generator into the living room to power the TV. But as the generator ran, carbon monoxide filled the home killing everyone inside.
Tim Szymanski with the Las Vegas Fire Department said, "The mom and daughter were found by the television set downstairs. The dad was found upstairs in a bedroom."
It is an accident that has neighbors in a state of shock. Neighbor Skye Mazourek's daughter is in eighth grade -- the same as 13-year-old Kaela. He commented, "To see it so close to home really makes you think about things, ya know?"
He remembers groups of kids playing outside the Wood's home. "They always had a lot of kids playing out front. I would always see the chalk drawings on the ground and stuff too. It's just crazy."
There are no chalk drawings on the sidewalk now, just police tape outside the home. As emergency crews console the victims' extended family, nearby residents are left asking how this silent killer was able to take the lives of three of their neighbors.
(Feb. 5) Afternoon -- A father, mother, their 13-year-old daughter, and the family's six pets all died after being poisoned by carbon monoxide. The bodies were discovered by firefighters who broke down a door after they were called to do a check on the family when one of the adults didn't show up at work.
The home is located on Spinning Wheel Avenue, in the extreme northwest part of the Valley near US-95 and Durango. According to firefighters, the family's power was recently turned off and they were using a gas generator for power. Firefighters say that generator released the odorless carbon monoxide fumes into the house overcoming the family. It is believed the family and their pets died sometime during the night.
Dozens of students attended the vigil at the Wood's house to say good-bye to a teenage girl and her family. The girl's classmate's say it was a difficult day to be in school without her.
Carlee Addison, Kaela's friend said, "And she told me and I just started crying really bad, really bad." Carlee Addison heard from her mother Thursday that it was her good friend Kaela Christensen who died at their northwest Las Vegas home from an accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
Grief counselors at Codwallader Middle School greeted Carlee and other good friends of Kaela's on Friday. Sam Jensen, Kaela's friend; "We got put in this room where we got to hug and we made poems and posters and we hung them up around the school."
Carlee Addison; "Like every period I was crying because everyone kept asking, 'Are you okay?' I was like -- Yeah, I'm fine."
Another friend of Kaela's, Brittney Robertson, added, "She was just a great person, she would brighten up your day."
Kaela Christensen was not only described by her classmates as happy and funny but also a smart girl who was just given first seat flute player in her school band the day before she died.
Kaela's classmates organized the vigil on their own. Eyewitness News did see some of the Wood family at the home earlier Friday. But they were too upset to speak with on camera.
The Wood family had their power turned off on Wednesday. Investigators say that a generator running in the garage, to keep the power on in the home, filled the house with the deadly gas. The family's three dogs, two cats, and pet chinchilla also died in the accidental poisoning.
Kaela Christensen wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up.
