I remember how impressed I was with Kenny the first time I met him. I immediately noticed his infectious smile, up-beat demeanor and zest for life. I've always admired those who have the unique ability to possess remarkable confidence without being conceited and Kenny was unquestionably one of those rare individuals. Soon thereafter, he introduced me to his amazing girlfriend, Kaat and I distinctly recall thinking, “Wow, what an awesome couple, they are SO PERFECT for one another”! As his father shared at his memorial service, Kenny certainly did have exceptional “standards”.
It was no surprise in the least when he later became President of the fraternity. It's hard to imagine anyone who could have exemplified the ideals of Lambda Chi Alpha like Kenny did. This was a role he was destined to fill and with his remarkable intellect and God-given charm, this came quite natural to him.
To say that “Kenny & Kaat will be woefully missed by all who were blessed to have known them” would be the understatement of the millennium. I say it nonetheless because a greater truth cannot be expressed. I am comforted by the fact that Kenny & Kaat were ideal companions in this life and continue to be soul mates together for eternity in Heaven.

Dear Lark Family: Our family cannot express the sadness we feel about this tragedy. Our last personal memories were that of the highly spirited marathon match of "Monopoly" with Kaat and our son Rick at the house in Austin, and the act of Kenny's kindness connecting a TV for us to watch during our visit. We are so grateful that our son Rick was able to have such an amazing best friend like Kenny.
We offer Peace, Prayers, and God's Blessings for all family and friends.

I taught Kenny Religious Education at SEAS when he was in the 8th grade. He was always a joy to be around, and never failed to bring a smile to my face with his sense of humor. I had the 8th grade class over one year for my daughter's birthday and everyone charted their height on our wall. Everyone's name is still there. Kenny will live on in our hearts, our memories, and our keepsakes.

I was lucky enough to know Kenny from the time we were in 2nd grade together. From running around at recess to golf camp at Hearthstone to playing baseball together at Cy Falls High School to sneaking into Section 27 at UT football games, Kenny and I truly grew up together. He was a great person and friend. He will be missed and will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Kenneth Lark: We will miss him of not only in Austin but on the Internet. He was such a gifted young man who not cared about Texas but for his family, Kaat, and life. I am assured that God will take care of him.
