Our time with Ken was nothing short of amazing. We didn't have him long; but the time we did have was precious and I will cherish forever. He always had a smile on his face, and a joke up his sleeve. He was truly an amazing person that I will never forget. He brought so much joy and happiness into our family, not only by being who he was; but for bringing Granny Faye the most love and happiness that she has ever had in her life. The kind of love that she deserved. This tragedy has taken a toll on each and every one of us, but we have to remember that he is in a better place, he is no longer suffering, and we will all see him again one day. I love you Ken, and I'll NEVER forget you!

My dear grandpa, It is hard to grasp the concept that you are no longer with us. When I sit and think of your face I smile,those glasses whithe your tooth pick hanging out your mouth. You were always quick with a joke, many of them I used right after you told them to me as my own. Grandpa never missed an opportunity to tell me how proud he was of me, I'm not sure I did the same for him but I am extremity proud he is my grandpa. He thought me how to be strong and keep my head up. Ilove you grandpa.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ken will be missed by so many. We are sorry for his leaving us here but know that the place he has gone to is so much better and he will be whole and healthy now, an he won't have to wear his glasses any more. (Colton Burpo has attested to that). I was glad he had so many of his family there for him during his last weeks on earth. We are keeping you all in our prayers. God Bless.

My wonderful father. Me missing you will not even be half of what I know that I'm gonna be losing without you being here with us. This was so abrupt and so shocking to us that it's almost unbelievable that you're gone. You not being here is going to be such a huge loss for this world, but what a great addition you are going to be in heaven with the lord. I will love you forever and miss you with my entire soul. We will see eachother again. Bye dad.

Kind, funny, smiling, understanding, caring, helping, gentle, loving....those are only a few of his good qualities :). He has made an everlasting impact on my soul that has made me a better person in a lot of ways. I have nothing but good memories and love for him. He made my mom the happiest I have ever known her to be and for that I am truly thankful that god made him a part of our lives even if it was for such a short time. I will forever miss his jokes, his smiling face and most of all his hugs. I love you daddy Ken and you will forever hold a place in my heart.
