Lucy and Family,

Ive never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I did know Kenny. He loved you all very much, and talked very highly of his mom. He was a great guy and im glad I had the honor of knowing him. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Lucy
So very sorry to hear of the death of your dear son Kenny. It seems I watched him grow up thru your stories of him when you visited the credit union. May God bless you and your family and be with you thru the difficult days ahead. Surely there is no greater loss than that of a child.
Take care.

My sympathies for Ken's family. I know that I did not get to meet you, but Ken spoke of you often. I hope I still get to meet his mom one day, I know he loved her very much. I am sorry that we couldn't be at the funeral to pay our respects. Clint, Tyler, Tiffany and I are currently in Afghanistan. We did get to spend last Thanksgiving with Ken at home (Ft. Campbell) I was very excited that he returned from Iraq just in time, and helped plan the dinner. He was very loving, funny, and always tried to help people when they needed it. Another thing that brought us all together was his passion for cars. He will be greatly missed. I am from Michigan, so Ken and I would have Ohio State vs. U of M wars, and Ty would take down Kens Ohio State flag and put up an LSU flag! "Ken, you will be greatly missed. I know we didn't get to spend too much time together between our deployments, but we sure always made great memories! You will never be forgotten, and always will be loved!"

Rest In Peace, Bro. You will be missed by many.

To the family: My condolences. In one of the last conversations we had before I deployed he told me how much he loved you guys, especially his mom. Hopefully there is some comfort to be found in knowing that you raised a great guy. I'm glad to have known him for even the short time that I did, and was very sorry to hear of his passing.
