It was truly an honor and one of my greatest blessings knowing and having a friend like Mr. Moorefield. After 24 years of friendship, I could never bring myself to call him Ken. The reason behind my inability to call him Ken wasn't due to a lack of familiarity but rather the deep respect I had for him. He was an amazing human being. Truly humble. Brilliant and extremely kind. A husband that completely adored his wife, Lindy and a loved people. We'll miss you Ken.

I am heartbroken having just learned of the passing of Mr. Moorefield. He promised that he would find me the home of my dreams. It took several years and he did. He treated me like a daughter, not a client. We talked and visited and got to meet and break bread with each other's spouses. I was blessed to know him. He did exactly what he loved. I will miss his presence but I have wonderful memories. My prayers are with his beautiful wife, his sons, his granddaughter and all who were blessed to know him. Rest In Heaven Me. Moorefield.
