I just learned of Ken´s death back on Jan. 1. Ken was a dynamic Christian and truly talented musician. He composed all the music for songs I have written over the years and I was in the process of writing another one when I learned of his death. My condolences go out to the family for the loss of this great man of God and great family man.
