Kenny, this message is hard to write. Your passing- so unexpected. It´s hard to accept. I am praying for everyone who knew you, especially family. I´ve known you since 9th grade. We had weight lifting class together and that´s how I got to know you the most. You were always so cheerful and always had a smile on your face. You were everyone´s friend. Thru the years even past high school, you stayed a good friend and a great person to many. You were a very special kind soul. You are loved and missed.

When I read the news, I couldn´t believe it and still don´t. No matter what, Kenny always had a smile and a kind word. I never heard a negative word out of his mouth about anyone. He is someone that even if you didn´t talk to in years, you would never ever forgot. I am so very sorry for this huge loss.

I was beyond saddened to have heard about the loss of Kenny. One of the few people who always had a smile on his face- you could always joke around with him and any time I was around him, we were always laughing. Even years later at reunions, you'd pick back up with him as if no time had passed. My condolences to his entire family, especially Jaime- I know how important he was to you as a brother and friend.
