Passow, Kenneth D.
Age 57, passed away at his home on October 19, 2011. Ken's life may be considered short lived, but he lived it to the fullest. He built a successful business starting with nothing but his good name. And, although Ken spent his entire life in Arizona, his passion for travel took him all over the world. He enjoyed family visits and hunting in Michigan, deep sea fishing in Mexico, and Gran Prix races in Monaco. His travels took him to Spain, the Canary Islands, Argentina, Morocco, and the pyramids of Egypt. He celebrated birthdays in Bali, and loved sharing his most treasured memories, those from Tahiti. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and gift for gab. He was quick to laugh, had the gentlest and kindest of souls, and fought his disease with courage. Ken was preceded in death last year by his beloved mother Donelda Passow and his father Kenneth Passow in 2006. He will be remembered and missed by his daughters Tiffany Passow, Heather Passow, 3 grandchildren Liberty, Nicholas, and Raven, 3 sisters Sheryl Harden, Susan Smalley, Sandra Evans, brother-in-law Dave Evans, and many more who knew and loved him. Memorial services will be held at a later date, but well wishers are asked to say a prayer for him.

Ken was a very nice man. He built our home, and he once stood in the very room that I write this. It's warm and comfortable even in the coldest of winters. He built it with love in his heart----our family is sorry to read that he has passed.

Dear Passow Family, Ken was a loyal customer at The Home Depot, Tatum and Bell location, where I work. He was always kind and patient when I was a new employee in the paint dept. He will be missed by me and many others. I am very sorry for your loss.

We will surely miss the many good times we enjoyed with Ken. He was good natured and always more interested in what you had to say than making his own point. What a kind soul. . at peace at last.

We haven't seen Ken for many years but remember him well. He was always willing to offer a hand with "man stuff" around my house after my divorce. As a young child, my daughter Pilar spent many hours playing with Tiffany & Heather and Ken always treated her as one of his own. It sounds like he lived an amazing life. Our thoughts and prayers are with his girls and the rest of his family.

I will miss one of my best friends. His strength was in his love for friends and family, and his willingness to help others in need. His humility kept many kind works quiet, but to those he helped, he was a giant. God has him wrapped in love today, and finally at peace. Good night friend.

Ken helped turn our carport into a garage. He came highly recommended, and was a sweetheart of a man. I am truly sorry for your loss. I will pray for him often, and for the loved ones he left behind.

Ken's sweet spirit and kindness will be his legacy. He fought his disease bravely and is finally ar peace. The love he had for his girls was paramount in the 19 years we were friends. I have sweet memories of our time as partners and friends. God now has Ken in His arms and he finally has the love and peace he wanted in life. My love to Tif and Heather always.
