Ken was a faithful witness, servant and follower of Jesus. His kindness and humility were evident every place he went. He will be truly missed. See you in Heaven, bro!

Ken was a larger than life person, who brought joy and added so much to life in this world. He will be remembered, missed and celebrated . We wish his family and loved ones grace, strength and peace in this dificult time of his passing. I called him Tex, he called me Naz. Although I haven't seen him since the 20 year Southeast Highschool reunión , I still treasure the experience of school, sports and watching Speed Racer. He has ran his race, finished his wrestling match and completed his game and enetered into the presence of the Lord. May the hope that he had in Christ be a very real comfort to all who knew him of a joyful reunion some day.
