I am sorry to hear about the loss that you have experienced. Please know that Michael and I and the family are praying for you and your family. We Love You Very Much!



Michael & Angela Bailey-Anderson

We heard this terrible news at Keith's 1985 class reunion Sat. night. So very saddened and heartbroken to hear this of such a wonderful and kind classmate. Our 1988 class reunion will have an empty feeling not having him there. Keith and I thought very highly of him in school. He will be missed. I pray that God will comfort you all during this time.

(Jeanie Edgil- class of 1988)

I am so very sory for your loss. Kenneth was a great friend and classmate. It was my privalege to know such a wonderful man. You are all in my prayers. God Bless.

Kenneth,

You will always be remembered by me like a brother. Through thick and thin your terrific humor always brightened everyone's day. God bless and keep your family until they see you again in a better place. Love Always, Chanel

I thank God for the three years I spent with K.Rice at U/A on the basketball team. I was able to have great times as well as bad ones with Kenny and the one thing that I will forever hold on to is his ability to always make you feel good about yourself. Kenny was the only person that could make me laugh at any time. Kenny helped me to learn how to enjoy life. I pray for the family and again I am thankful for the great times that Kenny gave me and others in his lifetime.

Derica, Tarous and the entire family, my deepest sympathy to you all. In Isaiah 40:31, we are reminded to wait on the Lord and mount up with wings as eagles to fly directly into the storm. There is peace in the midst of your storm. Kenneth knew how to laugh just like you guys Derica and Tarous. I remember kidding with him calling him "Chicken George" and can still see him laughing so hard. I consider it a true priviledge to have gotten to know all of you guys and still today call you friends. I love you guys and may God continue to bless.

Derica,

My heart goes out to you and all of Kenneth's family. All of the Rice family was well thought of at Austin.Your old geometry teacher has you in my thoughts and especially in my prayers. May God bless you and keep you all under His wing.

I am thankful for the the blessing of Kenneth's friendhip. All of us will cherish the times we've had together. My Prayers go out to the family during this difficult time. God is good and he will sustain you always.

What can I say about Kenneth that has not already been expressed. He was a wonder person, brother, and friend. I attended UA with Kenneth and he always kept me laughing, his laughter was infectious. Kenneth you will truly be missed my brother and always in my thoughts. To his family you are sincerely in my prayers God bless you. Much Love...

We are sorry for your loss I hope that you and your daughter can keep your head up and keep praying because God will see you through. John was very close to your husband and I know that I only met you once but you seem like family Aletha, if you need anything please feel free to ask.

My heart is deeply saddened. My prayers are with you Alethea, and the entire family.

Derica & Tarous: It was a joy watching both of you and later Kenneth wear the Orange & Black on the basketball court. Your family will always be an important part of the Black Bear family. And thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your lives as one of your math teachers. The Good Lord will have a special place for Kenneth.

I was very sad to hear this news. Brad called me Saturday morning. Distance nor time never mattered. Whenever I was home and saw K. Rice and Rod out, it was always "What's up cuz!" God bless Alethea and "Lexie" and the rest of the family. You're all in my prayers.

To the Rice Family
