I never met or personally knew Ken, but was aware of his work via a friend and follower in Colorado ( I live in Florida) He captivated my interest immediately with his insight and sensitivity and I followed his newsletter. I hope he touched enough people that his work will never end. I salute your life Ken Gordon and mourn your loss. Your essence will live on.

Some thirty years ago Ken helped me beat back the big, bad bullies. Funny...when the dust settled, everyone walked away feeling like a winner. That was his special talent. I have to wonder how a truly good person like Ken is taken when he had so much good left to offer the world. Lord knows we need more like him. Rest peacefully gentle soul. Respectfully, Jill Topper and Family

Literally, one of the funniest human beings I have ever known, just hilarious! “We all believe in local control … except when we don't!” Among many others.

Ken had an unwavering moral compass that is so rare in political life these days. I'm proud he was my friend - it is a loss for Colorado and everyone who knew him.
