Sue and Kevin,
We are saddened to hear of your loss. We knew Ken as President of MLL. He worked with us to start the softball program. He was always a joy to be around, always quick with a smile. We would occasionally bump into him, and he always made you feel like you were best friends. He did a lot for the community and will be missed.

Dear Sue,
I am so sorry for your loss. Ken will be missed, but his memory will be with us forever. He was a fighter to the end, and his legacy within the Kappa Sig house at BG will continue to live on. My condolences to you and your entire family.

Sue,
The dearest ones pass much to early, and yet we know they live on in all those who love them. I know Ken's passing is difficult, and I wish I knew him better, but through you we have all known him to be a loving and caring part of yourself.
My deepest condolences. Live well, and continue as Ken would wish.

Sue,
I am saddened by the news of Ken's passing. Although we've lost contact over the years, fond memories remain with me, among them impromptu get-togethers with Pat Moss in the West Seattle apartments, observing the self-confessed inveterate 'tinkerer' completely disassemble and clean the range in your first Magnolia home ("that Brush kid was always taking things apart"), intense discussions about sports and other subjects. Ken was always a delight to be with. It was certainly my privilege and blessing to have known him.

Dear Sue,
I was stunned when I saw Ken's obituary. My memory of Ken is that of a laughing, energetic UPS classmate in '75-'76. I remember him fondly. I also remember that you were kind enough to meet with me after graduation to talk about career options. (Thank you)
My thoughts are with you.

Dear Sue:
John and I and Elliott want you to know that Ken and all the Brush family are an important part of all our happy memories of Magnolia Little League, Our Lady of Fatima School, Scouts and CYO sports. Ken was always such a devoted and loving husband and father - always so proud of his family and a great support to Magnolia sports. As I wrote to you in my note, evidence of the sound values and care in your family is your wonderful son, Kevin.
Ken was an impressive man and could be counted on to do the right thing and follow through in his responsibilities. There was never any half-heartedness in anything he took on - things would be done well and details taken care of. He was an accomplished man and I'm just sorry that he did not have more time to enjoy time with you and Kevin and to pursue his love of fishing. He'll be missed by so many of us here in Magnolia and all over the US!
Thinking of you -
Marie and John Cain

He was so very proud of both of you! I will always remember him as a caring and giving man. My prayers are with you.

Sue and Kevin - I was saddened to hear the news of Ken's death. My heart truly aches for both of you. Ken was one of my favorite people. His vibrance, generosity, and humor will be very much missed. I appreciate the advice and guidance he gave me and the time he took to have conversations with me throughout the years. He convinced me to become a teacher, which I am and I love it! Thanks Ken! I wish I could attend the celebration of his life to tell you how much I appreciated Ken and how lucky I feel to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sue and Kevin, I have so many fond memories of time spent with Ken over the past 30 years. He so often provided such valuable perspective to life and was always a blast to be around. I treasured his yearly visits to Savannah. Sorry I won't be with you in Seattle this weekend but will look forward to seeing you there soon. You continue to be in my prayers. Mark Spadoni

I just read Ken's obituary to Mom by phone and she asked that I sign the guest book in her name. She was very upset to hear of Ken's illness and death and sends her love and condolences to you. We all wish we could be there with you on Saturday.
