Ken came into our lives on beautiful Shasta Lake fourteen years ago. He always had a smile on his face, a kind word to say, and an adoring look for his wife, Kat. We will remember you, Ken, fondly and with a lot of love!

Ken is one of the best friends a person could have. We'll all miss him dearly. He will be remembered often as we continue activities we shared together. Always with a story or joke, Ken would make us laugh. Our turn to continue those stories. Love to you Ken
