Kenny~You brought joy to so many people's lives. I have struggled with the fact that God took you so young, since I have heard of your passing. The only thing that brings me comfort, is that I believe He wanted you with Him as an angel in heaven looking over all of us. I pray for your family and your daughter. I know their hearts are heavy with grief. I am grateful and blessed to have know you.

Dear Banner Family - I will always remember Kenny as a young boy. I used to babysit him, Eddie, Debbie, and Jennifer quite a lot when they were younger. He was a great kid who I'm sure turned out to be a great man. He will be greatly missed.

Ken, though we haven't seen each other since school, I am sure we would be able to pick up where we left off. We had lots of fun in study hall cracking jokes and making Mrs. Dickson upset. I will always remember those times and will miss your smile and laughter. Rest in peace, Kenny.

Dear Banner Family,
I was so devastated to hear of Ken's death. He was a loving, kind individual. He rented an apartment in Binghamton from my son. I was the initial contact. He was engaging, warm and an incredible young man.

Everytime the sun shines, a rainbow appears and I hear a babies laughter I will think of you....
