Kenneth I. Borgman

Kenny returned into my Mother's, Joy Ray’s, life a few years ago. We then found there were several connections involving our families, one being that my husband, Leon, was Kenny's brother's UPS deliverer and knew them well. Kenny touch many lives including ours. He will be missed but left behind many fond memories. I want to take this opportunity to express our personal sympathy to Lori; John, Debra, Dan & especially Luke.

Ken was the first person to welcome me to Holly Street. He quickly became more friend than neighbor, and I always looked forward to the chance to chat with him over the fence or in the front yard in between chores. He loved his family so much, and through his stories and their visits, they have become dear to me as well. My deepest condolences to them during this difficult time.

Ken couldn't help but inspire those he knew to live life a little more bravely, generously and with a sense...

I will miss my Uncle Kenny (Kenneth) I remember him taking us to all the underground warehouses that the University used and going to ZiPi's for pizza. I still have my PePe LaPue glass. He always looked out for me and I am going to miss him.

Your loss is our loss - - Uncle Kenny has been such an important part of our lives, and we are all better people because of it! He has always been there for our family and we love him more than words can express. He set such a good example and had such a positive attitude and we thank God for all the memories. We cherish the times we had together with both him and Virginia. The family re-unions, Mahoney State Park, Branson, Missouri and of course our trip to Bee, Nebraska for both fish...

I was never privileged to meet Ken, but I heard tales of his courage and kindness from a mutual acquaintance.
I am certain that your wonderful memories of a good and loving man will keep him at your side forever.

Borgman Family:Although I only knew Ken for a short time(11 yrs),he was one of the kindest and most sincere gentleman I have ever met.I loved being around him. He will be greatly missed.May God bless you in this time of sorrow.

John and Deb, Lori and Charlie and all the family: We certainly share in your sorrow and laugh with the memories of Ken, as he was certainly the "Grandpa" our kids never had. He will be greatly missed!

To the family and friends of Ken Borgaman, I would like to state that during my years of having Ken as a colleague at UMKC, he was as honest and honorable as any person with which I had the pleasure of working beside. Always quick with a smile and never a task that couldn't be done, he made work fun. All of us working with Ken during those years are in his debt for making our working experience pleasurable. I think of him fondly. Ken was a wonderful man and I'll miss him.

Lori, John, & Family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your Dad was one of my favorite Uncles, I have many fond memories from my childhood. May He now rest in Peace, with your Mom for all eternity. God Bless you All.
