May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Kenny when I took the purchasing agent job at Jay's in the early 90's. Kenny was a job supervisor at the time. I learned a lot from Kenny and always enjoyed being around him then and for the many years after when we would cross paths. RIP Kenny

I have many fond memories of playing "kick-the-can" and other childhood games with the six Blue kids when my family of four kids lived next door to them on 3rd street in College Hill. We moved in the mid-60s and lost contact, but many of my memories remain vivid ... warm summer nights and colorful days shared with our neighbors. Sincere condolences.
James (Jim) Fields.

I'm very sad to see that Kenny has passed away! He was such a nice guy! Kenny and the entire Blue family were good friends of our family growing up in College Hill. After they moved, we treasured the times that we would run into him or one of the other family members. Your family will be in our prayers.

So sorry to hear about Ken. As a young girl, I couldn´t have asked for better neighbors, especially Pam. I hated when my parents moved us out of the neighborhood. We missed you all so much.

I knew Kenny since grade school. Like many south end kids we spent lots of time at Osage park, playing basketball and just hanging out. Later in life our paths crossed while building houses all over Wichita. Kenny was a gentle soul who always had time for a conversation. Rest in peace.

I just seen this and want to send the family our condolences. I was privileged to work for the Blue family Dairy Queen for 7 years of my younger life and because of this knew many of the family. I remember Kenny and his children coming in often while I was working. The entire family made a greatly positive influence on my life and I will forever be grateful to have known all of you. Kenny was always very nice to me. I am so sorry for your loss. Love and prayers Trisha

Kenny and I were friends for years
Met at Truesdell Jr high, then on to South high. His family Owned Dairy Queen´s. He was a foreman for our construction company and Kenny and I were always last to leave the house getting them ready for Parade of homes . We became old good friends then. He went on to do his own business with his boys. He was one of those friends when you see them, it´s like you seen him yesterday. I will dearly miss you, Kenny.
