Kenneth L. Piest

Dearest Elizabeth and Kerry,
You don't know Me, and We've never met. I'm a 21 yr. old College student in Kentucky. I wish that I could have known sooner what Ken was going through, as I gladly would have exhausted every resource to get there to donate. I just wanted to take this oppertunity to say that if it weren't for Robert, I would never have had the inspiration to pursue a career in Forensics and Criminal Justice. Please take comfort in the fact that Ken is no longer in pain and...

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT DR. PIEST PASSED AWAY. I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THIS AND MY SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY. DR. PIEST WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL PHYSICIAN. HE WILL BE MISSED BY SO MANY.

Our daughter has been a patient of Dr. Piest since she was diagnosed with cancer at 15 months. She is now 17 years. He not only provided the best medical care for Kelsey, but more importantly was there for all of us with his kindness and emotional support throughout these many years. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. Steve, Cindy and Kelsey Gish

I knew Ken from his days in the department of ophthalmology at UTHSCSA. I knew Ken to be a fun loving guy, a nice person, excellent teacher and presenter. He was always gracious to participate in conferences that I organized and I thank him for that. He was such an inspiration to watch present. Ken would stand tall next to the podium with changer in hand, sharply dressed and confident. He always had a well organized presentation with excellent photos and gave his usual award winning delivery....

Dear Mrs Piest and Kerry,
I am a writer but I could not, at this moment now, or perhaps ever, find the right words to tell you how much shared grief I feel on your behalf. You and your family's loss and courage through that loss have touched more people than perhaps you can ever know. Even on the other side of the world, such as myself. I continue to be overwhelmed at the thought of the sorrow that has touched your lives - and then equally as inspired by your devotion, courage and sheer...

Dear Piest Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, Ken was too young, as was his brother, Rob, whom I went to highschool with, at Maine West.
My sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Mrs. Piest and Kerry,

I could not let another day go by without telling you how many times over the past 36 years I have thought about you both. Kerry, you were a delightful 4th grader in my class at Orchard Place, and Mrs. Piest you were a wonderful room mother that year. I will always remember the lunches I had in your home and the baby shower you arranged for me. I wanted to contact you so many times in the past, but I never wanted to bother you. I can't tell you how sorry I...

Ken was a good friend and colleague. He was loved and respected by his patients. He will be greatly missed by the community. However,he will not be forgotten. Our deepest regrets to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Ken's death. I graduated from Maine West with Ken. The alumni has kept our class informed through the whole process that he was going through. I know he is in a better place, resting at peace. I will keep Ken's family in my prayers. God will be at your side helping you cope.
