Dear Ingrid and family:

Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time! I will miss a wonderful soldier and man of God on this side of Eternity but I rejoice to know I will see him again. He was an encouragement to me and my ministry. He instilled in me while I was at Evangel AG the importantance of reaching boys for Christ and that is why I as a Pastor have always supported and encouraged Royal Rangers in the Churches I've pastored. Ken was a man of great faith and integrity. I will as a pastor make sure his heart for the lost and his desire to see boys and men come to the Lord - will carry on! Ken touched more lives than he could ever imagine through the lives he touched personally (like mine)!

With all our Love and Prayers!

Tony, Susan, Sarah and Angel Niger

Dear Ken:



I'm sorry you have left us here on earth; I know you are in a better place. You will forever be in my mind as a positive influence in my life while I was a young man in Royal Rangers. Thanks for the chats we had at Pow-Wow, JLTC and District Council. You touched many young men and encouraged them to be their best as God had planned. You will be missed but we will see each other again.

Mr. Knutson,



It’s a little late but I want to thank you for

accepting all of us as we were,

coaching us in football, track, and weight training,

teaching us how to do well in our mathematics

showing us the rewards of discipline and hard work,

listening and talking to us in earnest,

sharing your humor and positive zest for life,

playing chess games for Mountain Dews,

being a damn good role model on how to be an adult.

You helped all of us survive the turmoil of adolescence.

From the Class of 76.

The Word of God says (paraphrased) that a true test of one's Christianity is by their fruit. Kendra, Ken & Kristen, you are each wonderful examples of the kind of man your father was. He was faithfull, he was steadfast, and he was a man of God! My memories of him are of a man who set an example for young boys and other men, a man who honored his God and his family and who loved the body of Christ.

May God surround you with His love, peace and joy even in the midst or your sorrow.
