I remember when I was homeless, and Ken pulled up with his friends and handed food to all the homeless people at the park. He joked with us and let us know that everything would get better and that laughter is the best medicine for depression.

I owned The Comedy Shrine in Aurora, Illinois. Ken was a bank teller at PNC bank where I had our business account. He was always polite, funny, and he told me he was interested in trying stand up comedy. I invited him to come to our Open Mic on several occasions. He finally showed up. I watched him perform on stage his very first time. My immediate thought was ... PNC is about to lose a teller! He became a regular at The Comedy Shrine. From Open Mic to Featured act, and finally as a Headliner. We continued to correspond with each other online. In his last message to me Ken said, "I hope I can make you proud one day!" I responded, "You already have!" I am heartbroken over the loss of this wonderful young man. My heart goes out to his comedy family, but mostly to his immediate family. Thank you to the Flores family for sharing Ken with us.
