You will be missed, brother, always full of fun, always liked the party. Great memories with volleyball and hangouts after for wings at the Jug. Many good memories boating on your boat at Lake Erie or Delaware Lake. Sailing with us on Alum Creek and on Wednesday race night. Patio time, hot tubs, and campfires. I will always look fondly on these great memories. You were the first Baker boy I met when I moved to Ohio, and through you, I met my husband of 28 years. Wish we could make more memories, till we meet again.
Love Nancy

I went to school with Kenny from elementary school through 9th grade when our family moved. Kenny was a very nice person and always had a smile for everyone. Rest in peace Kenny.
