God bless my cousin's Sue, Bue, Gerald, Frann and Lisa.
God looked in his garden and pick a beautiful flower and that was Ken.
He always greeted me with a what's happening blood. He always had a big smile we're going to miss him.
We loved him but God loved him more.
So be encouraged my family love from Mamie and family.

GOD BLESS, miss and love you all!
As someone had already shared, Ken was always so sweet and such a ray of sunshine w/that big beautiful infectious smile! When he smiled he made you smile.
Whenever we saw each other I'd call him "Ken-Son" and he would always come back with "Blondie-Son"! You know as in we are All "GOD's-Sons!"
I don't think I had ever seen Ken with a frown on his face, he was always so positive!
Much love to you Family, keep your heads up, and keep the Faith!

46 years of you being one of the funniest, stern uncles , who always told us to "KEEP IT CLEAN"
What I´d do to scratch your back and give you a few circles for them quarters you gave us!!! Time is short on this planet and I wish we all had a little bit more time with you.. Rest easy Uncle Ken you´ll most definitely be missed by us all
The Bible says to be absent of the body is to be present in the Lord and you´ve gained your wings SO FLY HIGH

I like to offer my condolences to the Taylor/Cherry family. I grew up on the same block with Ken. He was very humble & always smiling. Just an all around good guy.

I was very saddened by the news of Ken leaving us so suddenly, but yet as I examine Ken's public life, how he lived a daily life of confessing Jesus Christ as his savior and his Lord and sharing the good news of the gospel with such commitment and joy, I rejoice and thank God for his life. Now, those who live in Jesus Christ, die in Jesus Christ shall rise in Jesus Christ and therefore to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord. May God our Father give Ken's family the peace that passes all understanding, as Ken goes from labor to reward.
