Kenneth D. Norris

Having just found about Kenny's passing, I had to make a quick comment, even if late. He was a student of mine at PSU in the advertising program, and one that reminds me of why I love to teach. He was engaged, creative and always full of energy. I'd like to think we became friends. My thoughts are with all of his family. I will miss hearing from Kenny, and I often did after he graduated.

Gabe, Karen and Dan,

My heart goes out to you...

Kenny had always been a giving person. He gave of himself, his talents, his hugs, and his time. He left us many exceptional rememberances.

When we had a family gathering, Kenny showed up with a big smile. He even showed up to help move! Talking with him, in my experience, was a heart-to-heart discussion. He was the real deal, a genuine person.

I will miss you dearly, Kenny, and thank you for...

Im so deeply sorry for your loss... I knew him from my time at EMF many many years ago. He was quite and strong, guarded yet willing to give a warm friendly hug. I am sure he fits perfectly in the big arms of Jesus . His final destination and home . From a mom to a mom I cannot even begin to feel your pain . But I know my Jesus does.. may He give everything you need in this time.

My heart goes out to Karen, Dan, and Gabe at the sudden loss of Kenny. I only knew him as a child but wish I also had known him as the vibrant young man he came to be. Deepest condolences, Val Wiley

Kenny was my nephew, and through the past years, I kept up with what was going on with him from my brother Dan. I was amazed, however, at all that he accomplished as it is written in his obituary. What a guy! I remember him from his growing up years and how much I enjoyed seeing him and Gabriel whenever we had family gatherings. In later years, I saw him a few times, and on one occasion, he sang a classical operatic piece for the family gathered at my brother Tom's house. I was amazed and saw...

Kenny was such a kind hearted man. He was easy going and genuinely friendly. He connected with us from the first time we met him. My boys adored him. He spent some time teaching my son to play the piano before we moved out of town. When I recently posted about my 11y.o. getting good grades, Kenny took the time to call and congratulate my son. That simple outreach touched my heart immensely. It's been 3 years since we moved out of town and saw Kenny in person, but in talking to him it felt...

I met Kenny years ago when he was a little guy. I have not seen him again since that day. But I knew Kenny through the eyes and love of his dad. For the past 20 years I have been able to see Dan each summer. Each visit has always been delightful as we share stories of our children and their journey. As I read Kenny's story I marveled at all I already knew about Kenny from my years of visiting Dan and listening to Kenny's music and seeing pictures of Kenny and Gabriel. Always the love...
