Kenneth and I, along with many other dear friends, attended school together for a number of years. He was a kind gentleman, fun-loving, and a true friend to many. His funeral memorialized the person he was, and was a fitting tribute to his character, deeds, and his memory. My prayers are lifted up for all of his family. May God continue to comfort you and give you His peace. Knowing we will see him again in Heaven does not make the loss of his presence here painless. I am sure Kenneth is basking in the love of Jesus, and exploring Heaven...while visiting and partying with friends and loved ones. Kenneth truly loved his family and friends, and demonstrated his love every day.
