Dear Kenny's Family, I was a dear friend of Kenny's for over 5 1/2 years. He will surely be missed. I can't put into words what its like to call someone, and at the same time not realize what has happened.

I only had the pleasure to have known Kenny for a week or so, but I already felt his kindness. My wife and I were fellow tenants with Kenny in The Regent. He was a perfect gentleman and already had a positive impact on my life in a very short time. My condolences on your loss, Kenny was a good person and will be remembered.

You have our heartfelt condolences. Losing a child/sibling is such a difficult thing. So often in this life, we don't understand why things are as they are, or happen as they do. But we do know that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us all, and in His own due time will make everything right. May you have His peace and love.
