Ken was a wonderful father and husband, and dear friend to my brother. I remember Ken when we were all kids. He always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. Sending prayers to his family. Praying that a cure is found for ALS.

I've known Ken & Jenny for 30 plus years. Ken was a true friend and was always there to lend a helping hand, give me some good advise, or to just hang out together with friends. Kenny will be missed but not forgotten. My faith tells me Kenny is in a much better place where ALS doesn't exist and he can enjoy all that Heaven has to offer. I feel blessed to have been able to call Kenny my good friend. That goes for you too Jenny. My condolences to the Griffin Familly.

Words are inadequate for expressing how my heart goes out to you and your family during this time of loss. I remember all the fun filled days we spent as kids growing up on the river and the Disney camping trip. May your hearts be lifted with all the joyful memories.
Thinking of you ...Kerry Harvell
