My wife Cindy and I wish you our sincerest sympathies to you, Edie, Kathie and Joanna. Kenny and I sort of took different paths since grade school yet I remember with fondness the happy crazy times of our youth but most especially the joy of Kenny on that snowy day when he wed his most wonderful wife he loves so very much. Kenny's laugh was absolutely infectious, causing each one he met to laugh along with him. I will miss that laugh my friend. May God receive your spirit with gracious mercy to be with Him forever.

The last time I saw Ken was at his mother's funeral and we talked together for about 45 minutes. Ken went to St. Joe's with my son, Christopher, in Toms River, NJ. I was shocked to read of his death .....he looked so good to me and he was special to the Keklak family. He was always "the" gentleman, kind, thoughtful and caring. My heart goes out to all who loved him...I shall remember you all in my prayers.
Most sincerely, and God love you,
Ann Keklak

My prayers are with the Marshall family. I will always have good memories of Ken as the CSU SID - it is always sad to see those in our profession pass on. He was a true servant. The Cedarville Sports Information Office will miss him.

Ken was a good man! I'm the sports information director at Cedarville University and we became friends within the profession when he was at CSU. It was amazing he could handle SID duties while at the same time serving as the athletic trainer. May our great God uphold the Marshall family at this time.

I read the news today and was saddened by the loss of Ken though I had not seen Ken since Our High School Graduation, I had no trouble summing up my memory of Ken. Ken was and I'm sure remained a Kind and Decent Soul. Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him Oh Lord, and May the Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him, May He Rest In Peace, Amen!
