hopeful outlook on life. Ken had an unwavering faith in Jesus, and when asked if he was
scared, he replied, "Of what?" Ken was a strong advocate of medical marijuana and its
uses to combat the symptoms of cancer.

simple things in life and did not wish to burden anyone with his passing. We love you
dad, until we meet again. REV. 21:4/ Psalm 23
