I will miss Brother Ken so much. He was such a sweet man and has meant so much in my life. He baptized me when I was 10 years old. I still have a Bible he gave me on that day. On May 4, 2002 he married me and my husband Clint. I know he will be missed my many people. His family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Pastor Ken was an inspiration to our whole family. His words of wisdom and ability to connect directly to a person's soul is a trait that will never be replaced. He will forever hold a place in our hearts and we look forward to seeing him in heaven. Our prayers will be with all his family.

I use to visit with Rev. Allen when I picked up awards for Coach Sitton. I will miss his words of advice. He was a special man who will be missed by many of the coaches that ordered all their awards from Ken. Our prayers are with his wife and family. Thank you Rev. Allen for being a part of our lives you will be in our hearts forever.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family!! We think a lot of Ken and will miss him but we know his life is just beginning so we'll celebrate that too.

God used Ken to open my husband's eyes to see that there was a one true God and that life is ours through Jesus, first at Shadowbrook and then at FBSH-I'm sure there have been many others and we really appreciate the work Ken did here on earth.



Many Blessings to you all- Much love and Sympathy
