Ken was a joy to be around! I was blessed to work in the same department with him! He always had a smile, joke or some hilarious one-liner! He was also an awesome family man! He will be missed by so many!

Ken and I grew up together through preteen years. We rode bikes all over GR, went to movies twice a week, built dams on the creek at the end of Oaklawn, played baseball in the fields that were vacant then, and shared the same birtdate even tho he was a year older than me. I lost contact with him for many years but thought of him and our episodes together often . He was a great friend. My deepest condolences to the family for their loss.

I have such fond memories of meeting the Wests' in the pews of Blessed Sacrament. It was Christmas Eve 1979, we were new to the Parrish. Our son was 10 days old and Mary Lou was showing him to their 5 (I believe) year old son, Matt. It was a warm welcome and a beloved beginning to a cherished neighborhood relationship. Wonderful family... I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful legacy... Prayers and love sent your way...

I worked with Ken at GM, he was a great guy and a true Christian. Never a bad word, never saw him angry. He had so much love for his family, always enjoyed his stories about his kids. He is now enjoying eternal life at the side of our God.
