KENNETH DEWILD

I will always bask in a certain humble gratitude in the harvest, be it bountiful or lean, by the sweat of our plow or the bow or your righteous spear or this rifle, remembering that in all things, we either take life or give life. And in the end, we all give what we owe. Thank you for the crucible of death, and the glory of living again. Let there be Light in your eyes, when all other lights fail. Love ya dad; I will plant and reap.

My kids and I showed up to shoot our first trap tournament many years ago and had the incredible fortune of getting randomly assigned to shoot with K.L. as our squad leader. He immediately made us feel welcomed and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and kindness. He took the time between rounds to explain how everything worked both on and off the field. It really was the perfect introduction to the sport. Over the years my family and I were fortunate to have many opportunities...

Ken was a fine gentleman. We were honored to count him as afriend. God rest his soul.

We loved going to Pella to visit our grandparents and our wonderful Uncle Kenny. He always seemed so happy to see us. He was fun, caring, and always interested in what we were doing and what we had to say. He was great a teasing us too. He and my Dad were alot alike. Strong, caring and faithful men who loved their mother dearly. George and Autumn, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Ken you were a Great Man who cared about everyone that you met. I will always remember the good times working with you and your passion for the outdoors. RIP my Friend.

Dear Autumn (and George & family) I am so very sorry to hear of your dads passing. I know how deeply you loved him and that you will miss him every day. Please know love, thoughts and prayers are with you in your sadness. What a blessing to have had such an amazing dad. Deepest sympathy & hugs, Kim Sullivan

What a wonderful tribute to your Dad, George. Hugs to you, Melissa, Logan and Skylar.
