Ken you made a impact on the lives you've touched at the community center. I visit there often and you always had a smile and willing to help out with anything we asked. I went back there today and it wasn't the same I didn't see your smiling face I know God has plans for you up in heaven. To get everything prepared and organized. You truly will be missed. I keep you close in my heart.

Ken, you will never be forgotten! You were always so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. No matter how bad of a day you were having, you treated everyone with respect and had a smile on your face. There are not many people like you in this world. I feel blessed to have known you. RIP

I have had the privilege of serving the community alongside Ken for the past year and a half and have shared many memories with him at CFOC. I was lucky enough to have him pick my name for Secret Santa and one day I came in to the most thoughtful gifts he had snuck in and placed on my desk. He went out of his way to get me things he really knew I would enjoy, along with my first ever lottery ticket. After excitedly running up to the warehouse to give him a hug, we agreed that if I won anything I would donate my winnings back to CFOC. Turns out, I won $15 which he was SO happy about!

I'll never forget how happy he made my heart that day, and the countless other times he made me smile. He is incredibly missed.

Kenny was in my chorus class for four years in High school and we spent a lot of time together in musicals from 8th grade on. He was just a nice guy with a great smile. Kind and gentle hearted. He was taken too soon and he will be fondly remembered. My thoughts are with his family and friends struggle through this difficult time. Kimi Knight Sewell
