We remember Ken’s faith probably most of all. He was a great next door neighbor and so glad we had the opportunity to know him.

Our paths crossed ways over the years as Texas directors. He always brought joy and laughter to others, and I looked up to him as a mentor. As was his nature, he always helped others and expecially fellow directors. I learned a lot from him and am sad that he is not with us anymore.
God be with you -

Mr. Steele was a truly amazing person, and highly respected as a teacher. He had a profound influence on me as a student, and as a person. He will be forever missed.

The McClarty family grieves with you over the loss of Ken. Jennings and Holly were taught by him at Anderson High School. He encouraged them in their music and they are enjoying the benefits of that today. Ron and I considered him a friend and a partner in rearing teenagers. Unfortunately, a prior commitment will prevent our attending Ken's Memorial Service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I remember Ken as my youth choir director at Pecan Springs Bap Church in Austin - learned so much from him and was sadden when he and his wife left for Florida. May the Lord provide you comfort at this time....

I have never met a more gentle and kind person as Ken. His joie de vive was infectious. You couldn't help but laugh along with him. He will be sorely missed.
