Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace dear Kenny. You are dancing with the angels,

Kenny was always a source of strength to our family and had the ability to make you feel so safe and so loved. His advice and council always seemed to be just what you needed and always on point! He gave so, so much and expected little in return. It was my singular honor to have met him. To be in the same space and same time he was has made our life just that much richer. So rest dear, dear Kenny. We will miss your 'physicality' , but your essence and spirit will be with us always. Deepest...

He was a precious friend, and a phenomenal loving husband and father. I was always blessed by his great love for our Lord Jesus Christ. His life was a model of what a Christian husband and father should be. Our love and prayers are with Pat and the rest of the family.

On Monday November 9, 2020 I lost one of the best friends I've ever had. We have a 38 year history that has spanned more years and events than this this guest book allows. His legacy will always be that he loved the Lord, he loved his wife and family and he loved his friends. He NEVER asked for anything for himself but always tried to help others. One of a kind "my friend." The good news is that you poured yourself into your family and to your friends. All of us are the better for it.
