Uncle Kiven, thinking of you today. It's been 6 long years. I'll never forget watching the life fade from you that day. I'm so glad you aren't in that kind of pain anymore. I hope you're in heaven drawing beautiful pictures, singing, and laughing today because as we recognize mourning your loss all these years, you're celebrating your time in a better place.
all my love & hugs

Uncle Kiven,
I've been thinking of you even more lately. Actually, I think of you all the time. I've been bitten by the tattoo bug, and really want one. I can't decide on what I like. I wish you were here to help me pick one out, and then to do it for me.
5 1/2 years feels like such an eternity; I am not the girl you knew, but I think you would be proud of the woman I've become. I hope so.
I miss you terribly. I love you. Give Mom and Granny hugs from me, ok?
I love you.

We have been watching Tattoo Highway and we both say that Kiven could do sooo much better than that guy. He is missed dearly and we still keep him in our thoughts every day. I have several rolls of undeveloped film that I'm sure have some memories of Kiven. As soon as I get them developed, I will pass them along.
You will forever live in our hearts Kiven.

We miss Kiven so bad. It is great when someone comes up to us and asks us where we got our ink and I am so happy to tell them that Kiven did it and we tell his story to all who will listen. He was such a treasure. We loved him so. All our blessings to you.

Ginger - I went on a cruise in January. I had so many people come up and complement the work done by Kiven. I had a guy ask me just this past Sunday who did my work? I always get to tell them "A guy named Kiven did them at Club tattoo". We miss him too! Take care -

Ginger,
Was just sitting here talking to my youngest daughter Leslie (20) about the time that Kiven threw a party behind the shop on Liberty after he first moved in and he invited Cain's Rage to play at the party. We had such a great time that night and Kiven never looks so happy and healthy. He glowed-he seemed invincible. We still talk about him and remember him and are trying to find old pictures of him still. You and he came down to Beaver Lake and had steak dinner with us. When I find them you will be the first to get them. ALL OUR LOVE AND BLESSINGS!!
From the Penwells in Lawrenceburg-all 9 of us!!!

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
I miss and love you...
Ginger

Time
It's been one year. I still live in the same house, drive the same car and have the same routine. I have the same friends and work at the same place. Nearly everything is the same as before except everything is different.
A year ago on October 1, 2005, my boyfriend Kiven, died. A year is supposed to mark a turning point in the grieving process, so the experts say. I haven't decided whether this is true? In some ways I feel better than in the weeks after Kiven passed away. There are other ways in which losing him hurts worse now than it did then.
On the first anniversary of his death I reflect on how my life has changed without Kiven. Everyday I get up before 7, get ready for work, stop for coffee and prepare for a busy day at the Barber Shop. I have interesting conversations with many different customers throughout the day and then I go home.
Kiven's recliner sits in the living room where I watched him slowly die before my very eyes. Now when I watch TV there, I imagine him sitting there smoking his Marlboro's, drawing pictures and commenting on the various subjects that were once headline news. Kiven was glued to the television during his final months...the national disaster of Hurricane Katrina consumed all of his attention. He was so focused on every detail, eager to report all he had seen and heard throughout the day while I was at work, I'd give anything to come home to that again.
I'll sit outside and looked around me--my beautiful flower gardens, all the creek rock that he hauled from Jack's Creek, stone by stone to create this awesome landscape. Kiven loved to work with his hands, a simple man, yet a complex artist at work. These memories, they've become my constant companions.
Don't misunderstand me, my life isn't all despair and gloom, I laugh frequently, I have my children and several good friends, I have a steady business that keeps me busy & I make ends meet. My health is OK and I do pretty much do whatever I want, I really do feel blessed.
Still, here's what its like at my house a year later... It's quiet...too quiet. Sometimes I go to the attic and sift through pictures, old letters, poems and cards he'd given me. As I look around each room in my house I feel his presence--all the lovely statues he gave me, his artwork that hangs on my walls, his house plants that thrive, his empty recliner...there's a gaping hole in my heart.
There is never an hour, there's hardly a second that Kiven isn't on my mind. Wherever I am, whatever I'm doing, he's there. He's in my DNA, and yet he's gone, forever. I understand that. I'm dealing with it as best I know how. Everyday I put one foot in front of the other...Life goes on...until one day it doesn't. I miss my love...I miss My Kiven.

You will forever be missed.

A man came up to me while i was waiting for church to begin, and was admiring my tattoos, his comment was, someone had a real God
given talent. I told him they were done by a real close friend that passed on last October. My tattoos were always special to me before, but now they're even more special. All i have to do is look at them and I remember all the good
times I spent with Kiven, it's still hard for me to accept he's not with us any more, but where he's at is a far better place to be, with our gracious, heavenly Father. I'll never forget you Kiven and I'll always love you.
Remember this one Kiven- Vaya Con Dios and also Happy Birthday.

I still miss stopping by the shop and talking to you. People often complement your artwork that I wear. But, it is strange as I walk away thinking....to you it is a pretty tattoo! To me, it was a part of our friendship. Rest easy friend -

I was fortunate enough to have about 40 hours worth of ink done by Kiven, and spent numerous uncounted hours just hanging out at Club Tattoo. I wear Kiven's art work with pride, even more so now.
The world is definitely a lot poorer with you gone, rest easy my friend

Yesterday was Mother's Day, You and I have been to Lexington Cemetery on this day for the past 6 years. Today I went to your Mothers graveside and planted flowers like we always have in the past, but today I mixed Your ashes in the dirt so that You can rest in peace with Your Momma and James Darryl. This was another emotional chapter in my life without You Kiven, I miss You so much...Love, Hugs and Kisses...

I've been thinking about you the past couple of days. Actually I think about you everyday, but this weekend I losted a best friend. I pray that you show him around heaven. You all should have a lot in common cause him and Ben sure did. His name is Brandon Moore and I know you knew him. Please show him all the great places. God had his plan for you all up there, but we sure miss you. Team Shocker 4-life.

Today I attended a memorial service held at the Hospice Care Center at St Joseph Hospital. It was in memory of You and the others that have been treated by the staff there. My heart was heavy with sadness, this was an emotional day for me, although I know You are a happy man, pain free and in a beautiful place. I miss Your companionship, our converations, and all the special times we used to share together, my life hasnt been the same since Your departure. Today I lit a candle in Your honor Kiven, one that will forever burn brightly in my heart! Loving You always...

There isnt an hour in the day that I dont think about you. Today I start another year, this year without you my love. As I know you're not here physically, spiritually I know you're watching over me. Happy New Year Kiven, help me to make the best decisions with my life, guide me in the right direction and always keep me safe. I miss you, life without you is very lonely, but I am going to make an honest effort at changing my ways and getting on with my life in 2006, I know this is what you'd want for me...to be happy.
I Love & Miss You So Much!

Just wanted to say hey and we miss you very much.You are always on our minds and in our hearts.But you were so dearly missed this Christmas by all.But,for one Little Boy "Dylan" he could not understand why you were not here at his house at Christmas with us.He kept yelling for Kiven.I findly got through to him.By telling Dylan that Kiven was up in "Heaven" with Jesus. And then he was ok with that.Then he had everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus.I guess you know all of that and seen it all for up above.Just wanted to let you know you have not been forgotten.Do me a favor i have a Son and Daughter in heaven with you.Dustin and Michelle give them a hug and kisses from their Mom.Merry Christmas and I Love You.

Kiven was an uncle, a mentor, and so much more to me. Through everything over the past several years, he's always held such a special place in my heart and life. I miss him so much more than i can put into words. My only regret is that i will never be able to display his great talent and artwork myself. I miss you, Uncle Kiven, and i hope i'm making you proud. I'm doing my best. Give granny, papaw, and momma all some big hugs for me, k? I love you.

Kiven was not only like a brother to me but he was a "father figure" to me as well. Kiven taught me alot in the years I knew him. He gave me life. If it weren't for Kiven I would not be in KY today nor would I have all the wonderful friends I have made apart of my life. Everyone now has a new Guardian Angel looking out for them and Kiven is always with us. To Kiven's family and Ginger, you are always in my prayers.

To Ginger and Kiven's family , I offer my deepest sympathy. "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you." Psalm 55:22 These are the words of our Lord, and they can be trusted. Kiven was always very kind to me. I will forever tresure my two tattoos he did. I liked it when he called me "Miss Terry". He had a way of making everyone around him feel at ease. Thank you Kiven.

My husband and I were so saddened to hear of Kiven's passing. We were both fortunate in having met him and to have had him put tattoos on us. I wish there was something we could do to ease the pain of all of his family and friends. I am sure he will be doing some very colorful artwork on Heaven's walls.
Joe "J-Rons Boy" Wainscott
October 20, 2005
I knew Kiven for a number of years being the son of one of his dearest friends, J-Ron. I became part of the family many years past, and had remained part of it throughout the years. Kivens passing has touched me dearly and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. May God bless all of you and keep his star shining bright forever. Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" I believe this quote fits good considering Kiven sharpened every single person that crossed his path.
Wendi & Larry Penwell
October 20, 2005
Kiven was a wonderful person who will be missed by the masses. He could always make you smile and his artwork will live on with all his friends and clients. He once called us family and we felt like family. He will be missed and I'm glad he had Ginger in his life for he deserved only the best. With all of our love, the Penwells.
Renee Wainscott

Kiven will truly be missed by each and every person who's life he touched. Very few people in life get to leave their mark such as Kiven has. Those priviledged to have had Kiven tattoo on them only need to look at their tat's to see Kiven looking back at them. I will miss his smile, his great sense of humor and the great free spirit he was. My deepest sympathy goes out to Kiven's family and to Ginger and her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Find comfort in knowing that Kiven is now at peace and know they are celebarting in heaven at his arrival. May God bless you all. Thank you Lord for blessing us with you son Kiven, may his spirit live on for eternity.

To Ginger and Kiven's family, my heart felt sympathy goes out to you. Kiven was and always will be one of my best and dearest friends,

I will miss the Sofa-King, as he refered to himself at times. I rarely go out without someone asking about the great tattoos on my arms. It is then I get to reflect on the fun times with Kiven at his shop and his great since of humor. My the Lord watch over his family and friends!

My life is'nt the same since Kiven's passing, I miss him emmensely. As Kiven's girlfriend and caregiver, I cannot express the emptiness I feel. Kiven lived with me for the last year since his terminal diagnosis, he was always so grateful for my being there for him. He was a very proud man, he didnt want his friends to see him sick, he put on his bravest face and never tried to worry others about his health. Kiven and I had 7 amazing years together, we learned alot from each other and experienced some awesome times together, I was blessed to have him by my side. His star is shining bright, look up, you'll see it! Rest in Peace My Love, Forever, Your Sunshine...Ginger

God Bless each of you.
