I have just realized that Kenneth passed away. My family and I are heartbroken. Kenneth was such a good friend. I first met him probably 20 years ago in Atlanta when I was having computer problems. He would come to our home and help at a moments notice. When I moved to Dallas nine years ago, Kenneth would continue to help me remotely. When I texted him on his birthday abc he never answered me back and is I realized that something had to be wrong. He always answered right back. I am heartbroken for Kenneths family. I know how much he loved them. Kenneth always spoke so highly and lovingly of his family. He would light up and beam with joy. I am so sorry for your loss of an amazing man. Kenneth will be SO missed by all.

Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, you raised quite a son. I met him through the HHCA. He helped me with computer issues and was just an overall nice guy. Of course I can say nothing you don't already know. I am so sorry that you had to lose your son at such a young age; but his life was fulfilled.

My Prayers and condolences go out to the Saunders family. I knew and worked with Kenneth through the Hidden Hills Civic Association; however, we kept in touch well past my time as a member of the community. Kenneth and I always enjoyed talking about technology and I could always count on him for advice when it came to my computer. Kenneth also introduced me to the world of Apple products in the early 2000s. Kenneth was a Blessing to all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to you all. My heart truly aches for you. While I wasn't as familiar with Mr. Saunders name I do recall seeing it. What I know about is the work he's done. As long time DeKalb County resident, specifically South DeKalb the past years, I'm aware of every project listed that he was part of. I know the neighborhoods and larger communities he's touched. We honor you Kenneth. We life you up. Sending positive healing energy to you all.

My condolences to Kenneth's family and friends. I met Kenneth a few years ago at a South Dekalb Improvement community meeting. He had proven to be a champion and advocate for economic development for South Dekalb County. Praying for peace and comfort for his family in the days ahead.

My sincerest condolences to his parents,siblings and entire family. Although I didn't know him personally, it hurts our community that a winner like him is gone far too soon from this monster COVID19. May God continually give you all the strength and peace during this life changing event.

Wow, I met Kenneth only around a year ago! He was very personable, and vibrant with me. I felt like I knew him from somewhere but I actually did not but we conversed a few times via telephone and online and I feel blessed that our paths crossed. My heart goes out to his family and friends and I am uplifting you all in prayer! So sad to hear Kenneth has passed...

Kenneth was deeply committed to the Hidden Hills community. He was always the youngest and most active member of the Executive Board of the Civic Association. He grew up embracing technology and took every opportunity to expose us to the latest technologies. He was a kind and non confrontational person which was a vital voice during the often passionate discussions. Ken Thank You. God Bless

My friend and close neighborhood partner will definitely be missed. The first time meeting him at a community meeting over 12 years ago. Always so energetic and involved. Not afraid to live a good life and have support for others he was a very special soul.

This young man was so awesome! I remember working with him as he helped Hidden Hills and South DeKalb communities. He was a good listener when needed; a vocal advocate when appropriate. I thought he had maturity and great insights even in his 20's. He also had the most wonderful laugh!
My thoughts are with his family today and beyond.
