Kenneth Ken Udell

Amazing how God's hands work to change a friendship that goes from Ken and Jacque, then Claire, loosing Jacque and then you end up being my neighbors! Glad to get to know you again! Prayers for peace and comfort for the whole family. A sorority sister and neighbor, Ruth Keur

There's a hole in my heart. I played in Ken's first dance band
at Creston.We had great times and I'll miss him

I imagine there is a very tippy canoe up there with two very wayward campers paddling upstream, RIP Ken!

Ken's love of music will be in my heart forever, as his enthusiasm for our precious baby grand piano found a home at Holy Trinity. And he made a YouTube of him playing it after t was moved there. I will always cherish his delight in an instrument that meant so much to me. Anne Reed, formerly Portage, MI. Now Cincinnati, OH

Ken, thank you for being such a kind and caring music teacher, who took an interest in helping a young kid from a poor family. You were a patient, supportive mentor and teacher. I'm so glad we reconnected! You will be missed. Deepest prayers and condolences to your family.

Claire, Chris, Stacy, Bob and Kathy,
So many amazing memories, playing cards, camping (Ken's original composition "Leaky Tents"), canoeing, traveling, cooking together, Beta Sigma Phi events, JC, music, love and laughter . . . Praying for you all, with much love. Peg

Ken was an amazing talent. From my HS prom to the Calder Band, he bookened my musical life. I have heard so many stories from him, and about him; and the one thing I remember is there was never a negative thing said. He was a true "nice guy" in an area where he was in the public eye a lot. An exemplary life. Thanks for all the memories.

I would like to express my condolences to the Udell family. I attended high school with Ken. I have not seen him since graduation but my thoughts of him as a young man were kindness, intelligence and a happy spirit. I am sorry for you loss.

Even though we kind of lost touch, Ken will always be in my heart. My thoughts are with Claire and Chris and his family. Chris has some big shoes to fill. Ken is and will be sorely missed.
