Dear Deb and family,
We are shocked and saddened to hear of Ken's passing. We have been friends with all of you for many years with so many great memories. I will always remember Ken watching over the kids at the barn and the times he stopped by our house to say hello and take Matt to watch Gabe play football. May God bless and comfort your entire family today and always. We are keeping you in our prayers. -Peggy and Matt-

My name is Mark Tweeddale. I lived in Brookville for 2 years between 1971 to 1973. I was one of Kenny's friends along with another guy, Jack Barclay. We were the 3 Amigos when we were in 7th and 8th grade. I have VERY fond memories of Kenny, Jack and I. And even after I moved to Missouri in the August of 1973, I still stayed in touch for a while. I came back to a swimming party in 1978 that Kenny was having when I met my present wife there, the former Gail Patterson who is still good friends with Kenny's sister, Carol. I was DEEPLY shocked upon learning of Kenny's passing. But like the rest of the Dawson Family, I KNOW I will see Kenny again in the next life. I regret not keeping up with Kenny in recent years but those memories of the 2 years I spent in Brookville will live with me forever. Do not look on this with too much sorrow. To those of us who love our Lord, we will all be together forever someday. I'll pray for the Peace that goes beyond understanding for his family and friends.
