K.B. and I became friends in a short amount of time. We clicked as friends and musicians as we enjoyed the time spent together with both. I was fortunate to enter his circle of friends and will never forget him. Thanks, K.B. for sharing your time and talents with me. Love ya Brother.

I had the most wonderful priviledge of calling him Uncle Kenny. Being that our family is so small, Uncle Kenny wasn't just any uncle. He truly was the cool uncle, and really was like a second dad to me. I will miss that smile and laugh that only he had. His sense of humor was unforgetable. He was probably the only man I knew who could carve a turkey and perform karate moves at the same time! :) Uncle Kenny, I miss you and love you and can promise you made a difference in my life! XOXOXO Kelli

I just recently met Ken and had the chance to play in the Classics with him for a short while. He was an amazing musician and a warm, cheerful spirit to all who knew him. He was taken from the world much too soon and I know he will be missed. I'm so thankful I had the chance to know him. May God be with his family.

What can you say about a friend who'll be missed and forever loved by those of us who knew him, just not for his love of music but for the many years of being a friend? A character in his own right who you could laugh with, talk to and even share a hug with at any time, the present or after years of being apart. But no matter how long you'd been apart it was as if it was yestday when you saw him and his smile. The love he gave his friends wasn't comparable to the love we gave him because he always seemed to give more. KB, thanks for: the memories, the love, and the many years of friendship. You've taken that piece of my heart with you and you know I'll never take it back. Love ya My Friend

Dear Rhonda, Shelley, Mandy and Michael-
I was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of your precios husband and father. When someone you love dies, especially someone as young as KB, it leaves an empty spot in your hearts which could never be filled by any other person. What a wonderous gift we have from god in the gift of memories. When you close your eyes, you can see and remember KB just as he was when he was happy and healthy. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone forever. Until then, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Rhonda and family I want to say Iam sorry for your loss. Kenneth was my favorite cousin whom I truly loved. He was aways there to help his family or anyone who needed his help he was there. He really enjoyed playing his bass guitar and he was good at it. I just talked to him last week on facebook and he seemed to be doing fine. My heart is so broken right now. He will be truly missed.
