To the Kellam Family;
Our heart felt sympathy to your family. Kenny was a great friend. Always a smile and laugh. I meet him on the football field and our friendship continued until our children graduated from Linden McKinley together. May you know that Kenny doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Kenny met no strangers, was a loving, caring person. He will truly be missed by the family. I am glad to have known him and had him in my life. I will miss him calling our house sounding like "Berry White"
I will miss my brother-in-law
