Obituary
Send FlowersHappy Over Wife's Deeds
Before the planes hit that day, Kenneth M. McBrayer had already called his wife, Marsha, three times. That was the usual pace of their long-distance arrangement, with him living in New York City, and working at Sandler O'Neill & Partners, during the week, and then joining her on the weekends in Washington, where she is a third-year law student at George Washington University.
"We were just very close," she said. Even when they had lived in the same city, it was not uncommon for them to talk by phone about 10 times a day. She saved the last message he left her, and for the past seven months has been playing it over and over again: "Hey, babe. Just checking on you. Nothing special."
Mr. McBrayer, 49, grew up in Georgia, and was an accomplished student and athlete. "He was always a committed kid," said his father, Max McBrayer of Alpharetta, Ga. "Everything he did he tried to do it the best he could."
Married since 1990, Kenneth and Marsha thrived on making each other happy, she said. They were living in New York when she decided to go to law school. She told him she would go to Fordham University, to keep her close to home. "He said, `No, go to the best law programs,' " she recalled. "He was that kind of guy. He was happiest when something good happened to me."

Ken was a great guy who truly loved his wife Marsha. I knew him as a customer in my restaurant in Florida, and he and Marsha became friends of mine quickly. I cannot ever forget their friends coming and telling me that he had died that day in NY. It took me to my knees, how could someone so nice be gone in this horrific attack on our country??? I know that they had plans to sail, and that was his passion. I hope Kenny, that you are sailing in some beautiful waters in heaven. God bless your...

I was just in New York the other day and the city was lit up with colors remembering 9/11. We happened to be walking along 6th avenue where I remember we hung out and had lunch on a bench on one of my business trips to New York. I can't believe it's been 20 years but the feeling is just as strong about what you all went through. God bless.

I’m so glad I got your call back in 1987 to ultimately get our team hired to work w you. You were always the consummate professional and courteous while we were in states far and wide performing Due Diligence for trades. Your smile is what I remember and this picture says it all. I’ve cried and grieved even today 9-11-2020
over the events that took you and all of the victims. Thank you, Ken and continued Godspeed. Your friend, Debra Buckner
