I think of you often
Remember the days
It crosses my mind
In a lot of ways
I look at my family
Count my blessings each day
God bless you and watch over us all

I am very sorry for the loss of Ken. We had a great week working together on a TV Movie Shoot in Vancouver in 2005. I grew up two houses from their's on Chester St. Ken could talk forever about anything. Great guy. Rob

I received Ken's loss with deepest and heartfelt sorrow. I know death belongs to life like do births and everyone of us must go through them turn by turn. However, we cannot avoid grieving upon loss of the closest ones. Ken was a great hero who was able to bravely endure a lot of hardship during his life and in his sickbed. I will always remember him as my brave Canadian brother who has always been keen to know the world around him with much more detail than the rest of can do and care. I often remember him when I encounter missed opportunities on instances which should have been given a different and due attention and I will also remember him when those instances will be repeating. Unfortunately, I am not able to attend Ken's funeral due to the distance between us. However, I keep his memories in my heart and pray for him so that the almighty god may bless his soul to rest in peace and paradise.

A man with a heart of gold, unique and full of love for everyone in his world. The good times with Ken were many, and have become fond memories. Certain places and songs will continue to remind me of him - and these memories will live on thru Zack. He will know that his Dad was a unique and wonderful man. <3 Jones family; you are an amazing gang - and I love you all so very much. <3

My condolences to Ken's family. It has been years since we last saw each other, this news brings saddness for me as it does others. High school friends, I still have fond memories of those many carefree and crazy days with Ken. Time and growing lead us to different directions, but time can never erase those great memories.
