Kenneth Kilgore

Kenneth, It has been over 13 years since you left this Earth for your Heavenly home. I don't know if anyone has told you, but the bridge on I-44 near your church was named in your honor. Although I am not in OKC often, every time I drive over that bridge, I think of you and the trips that we took to Stillwater together. May God continue to hold you in His loving arms. Your friend, John Bennett

Kenneth, The story about how you advised me that God gave me many gifts, but singing wasn't one of them still brings a smile to my face and a chuckle to those I tell. I miss you my dear friend. John

Brother Kilgore traveled to Topeka, KS in the late 70's thru early 80's to facilitate musical workshops for the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. I was very young then but I still remember most of the songs; I was too young to sing. The Hicks family loved him dearly. They're all gone now but I was unaware of his passing. I just want to send love to his family and church family. We are left on Earth, and as we pilgrim there will be more burdens to carry to the feet of GOD. My favorite song...

Hey old friend. I still think of you often and try to imagine the world with the changes you would have made. It certainly would be a more helpful and understanding one.

God certainly blessed my life when He arranged for my path to cross Kenneth's. We were classmates at OSU and drove to and from class from OKC together.

I remember being in a group with him where he, Linda Poe, and I were studying bullying in public schools in a research project. I came into the classroom singing something and Kenneth told me, "God gave you many gifts, singing is NOT one of them.

I love and miss my dear friend. I know for a fact that he is leading an...

Mr. Kilgore was my sixth grade teacher, his second year of teaching. We performed an end of the year musical about American history. I considered the practice and performance fun but hard work (I can't sing). It was not until I got to high school that I realized he had actually taught us history in the process of us having fun. Mr. Kilgore was the embodiment of a great teacher, one of my favorites. After high school I tracked him down and he agreed to play the organ at my wedding. I've often...

Dr Kilgore was the director of Music at St John Missionary Baptist Church when I was a kid growing up. I loved him so much. My Mom loved him and she recently passed. The Music director at the Church now Terry Spigner worked with Dr Kilgore for years!! What a beautiful legacy you left. You were truly gone too soon.

God blessed my life when He introduced me to you Kenneth. I will always fondly remember our drives to Stillwater for class. God's Heavenly choir is blessed to have Kenneth; for those of us left behind we can only await the day we are together again.

Kenneth was a good friend I miss him and his music.
