I am so sorry for your loss! Ken was so much fun. We graduated together. My favorite memories of Ken was hanging out in the Subway parking lot. He would always come in to visist Tim, Josh, Mishon and myself. He was always bumping the sterio in his Blazer and we would all hang out there after our shifts :) I remember one time right after I turned 18 we got mini vanilla cigars and smoked them while we went golfing pretending to be all grown up :) Again I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great person! Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers!

i have known ken since highschool, and have countless memories of his huge laugh, and all of his crazy cars... i miss the mustang! ken was so genuinely kind and generous, and he was so so much fun. my oldest son passed away three years ago, and when that happened, ken was an unwavering support and comfort for me. i miss him. my deepest sympathies go to his parents, and family, and all of those whose lives have been so changed first by his life, and now by his absence.
