Kenneth L. Gunning

Four years later, we have positive memories about Kenneth. I don't think he ever met a stranger and he was a happy person. His love for Norma was special. Thinking of you Kenneth.

Dear Gunning Family, So sorry to hear about Ken's passing. I'm glad I had to opportunity to meet him and spend time with him and your mom in Tucson. Elizabeth (Bitsy) Carrillo

Kenneth, you were such a kind and gentle soul. Thank you for calling and wishing me a Happy Valentine's Day! You will be forever in the hearts of all who knew you. I will miss our chats and your smile.

As you can tell from what has been written, Uncle Kenneth had a way of making us all feel special. As you celebrate his life today, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. His smile, laugh and voice will live forever in my heart and soul.
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."

Grandpa, thank you for everything you've done. I wouldn't be who I am without you. I love you so much and will truly miss you. I was not ready to let you go, but I know grandma will be happy to be with you again.

Uncle Kenny, you were always so alive with life. I love your smiles and the way you always made us feel treasured. God knew what he was doing when he gave you to us. And I just want to say thank you for always being who you are. You are the very best guy! And I know that Jesus took one look at you and said, "Well done! My good and faithful servant." I love and miss you dearly. Lorilea

To find a consistently cheerful presence is a treasure. From my first visit to Holiday Hills Community Church, Ken was welcoming and generous with his smile and ready to listen. Certainly his light continues to shine.

You are the best grandfather in the world and we love you with all our hearts!

My loving grandfather, I miss u so much words can't explain how broken I feel. You taught me everything and helped me become the person I am today. I m going to miss our talks and our time spent at the stock show but most of all I will miss your hugs, hearing u laugh and all your jokes and so much more. I Love You Grandpa!

A few memories of my Uncle Kenneth are these: Since he was only 12 when I was born I remember him when he was young and he stayed young at heart He was always one of best looking men in a group. I loved the sound of his voice, his laughter and most of all his ready smile. Who could resist that smile. He is missed

My Dad, it is hard for me to write how I feel. You where the best. I will remember your smile when I would walk thru the door and your little jokes. they would keep me guessing. I will miss the phone calls every day that I would get, just to let me know you where up and going and to make sure I was also. I will miss you so much, my heart and soul hurts. You and mom be happy
Love you Cindy

I will forever keep ken in heart. I will miss his laughter, kindness and genuine love he had for everyone who touched his life. We joked with each other on almost a daily basis and I already miss that. My life will forever be empty without him and his smile. I Love You Ken

I want to express my deep condolences to Ken's family. I just met him recently compared to all of you who knew him and I became very fond of him in such a short time, so I can imagine how much more your grief is in losing him. I will sincerely miss him and his smile, but I bet-cha he is in heaven right now and smiling there also.

Uncle Ken was a terrific Uncle and person. I can still hear him say "Well Hello Tami" I will miss you so much. Love you

Rick and Doreen,
we are going to deeply miss him.
His 4 grandkids and his 5 great grandchildren will miss his jokes, his laughter, his smile and his love.

WE LOVE YOU DAD

I will miss Uncle Kenneth a great deal. I loved the visits here in Kansas with Mom. He always had kind and good words for everyone and we always shared the good times and the bad times with him. I'm glad he and Mom were able to spend so much time together. He was very much loved and he will be very much missed.

We will sincerely miss Kenneth, a "friend" to everyone. I think everyone in the family always looked forward to seeing him. On occasion, he would go a little out of his way to drop by my mother's house to say hello. That BIG truck was quite a hit in the neighborhood, but seeing him was pretty special too. Kenneth and Norma were always glad to see us anytime we could get to Denver. On one trip, he took time off from work to take me to a mountain resort for trout dinner. That was memorable.

Kenneth really enjoyed working at the county fair after he retired. He met a lot of people and treated them as though he had known them all of his life. He also enjoyed socializing with the people at the Holiday Hills Retirement complex and was always happy about his "exercise" sessions that allowed him to sit and chat with friends after his walk.

There are too many wonderful memories to tell here, but I know he loved his family and was proud of each of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He talked about them often. We will miss you Kenneth, but we know you are in God's Hands.!

My dear cousins all of you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. I haven't seen you in forever but I still remember you as children and seeing you when we came there to visit and when you came here to visit I know how much you will miss him but know that your mom and him have been reunited in heaven. He was truly a good man. I will miss him.
I made a donation in his honor to the DAV here in Enid.

Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Norma are sadly missed, I will always remember my phone conversations with the both of them as well as the great times we spent together at the Gunning reunions. Uncle Kenneth always made me feel close to the family even tho many of my growing up years were without the Gunning connection. I am thankful I was able to of known and met many of my relatives and become one of what I feel a great family. Uncle Kenneth, Aunt Norma Love and miss you.
