Patti, Rick and Nicole,
Those of us who knew Kenny while he was in school in TN will always remember and love him. Cannot believe he is gone. My heart goes out to you and your entire family. Such a huge loss, more than you should have to bear.
I have 2 very vivid memories of Kenny at our school. The night I covered the group and Kenny showed them how to snort spaghetti noodles up their noses. The other was a group meeting later that night when he was confessing a minor teen age rebellion for which he owed his mom an apology.
He made us laugh and his jolliness made us feel warm inside.
We will always have him in our hearts.

Pat, Rick, and Nicole,
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved son and brother. It is a loss we all had to endure together. You all know that I'm always here for you, as I know you are here for me. You all mean a lot to me. Kenny was an amazing person, and he was an even better boyfriend. He touched people in many different ways. He always knew how to relate to problems someone had, or how to comfort them. I got to see the other side of Kenny, the side very few actually got to see and I'm thankful for that. I'm also thankful that I met you all. You all are amazing. I'll always keep you in my prayers.
Love always,
Chelsey.<33.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ross and family:
I can't imagine your sorrow. I knew Kenny for the last year or so and I am grateful for that. My heart aches for your loss, mine, and for his as well. Unfortunately, he will not know the greatness that was within him. Kenny had a contagious laugh, endearing smile and a loving heart. I know that he was certain of your love for him. I am deeply sorry.

I was deeply saddened by the death of Kenny. He was best friends with my brother Paul and a good friend of mine. He always knew how to make everyone laugh and was always up for having a good time. He could light up a room filled with anger and despair. He was one that set his mind to anything and everything. He did things in different ways, but that's what made him who he was. Kenny was a very unique boy and I'm a very sorry for you loss. My heart deeply feels for you and my prayers will always be with you and Kenny.

Patty, Rick & Nicole,
Our family was deeply saddened by the news of Kenny's passing. We remember how he could make anyone laugh with his great sense of humor. I recall him and Andrew running around the soccer field with their shorts pulled up to their armpits. Andy always kept in touch with Kenny. He has many memories of their adventures and snowboarding at Wachusett Mountain.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
