Kenneth is my younger bother. He was also my playmate as kids on the farm. I watched with amazement at some of the things that happened to him as a child. Falling out of window of the pig stable landing on a ground rake, falling backward on to the rim of an iron kettle, and not crying when he got spanked. None of these affected him as severly as did the death of our oldest sister. I remember him telling me he thought she was his real mother! I was at the hospital with him, hooked up at all the equipment.It was agonizing to see. Even when we knew he wasn't really with us, his damaged heart kept on going.. The night before he died I prayed God would let our sister come to take him home.2:07 P.M., May 8th,2013 she did.I am inconsolable but Kenneth is happy. I will miss my playmate forever.

What to say? I've lost my brother. Don't know how our lives connected so long ago but I'm so glad they did. I can remember the day we pulled first car out of the field at the farm. Cleaned out the bees nests and started her up. Was the beginning of long time friendship and a great love for each other. Although we've been miles apart our hearts have always been connected and will remain. The three of us were always doing something we shouldn't have been but growing and learning as we went along. You were a great friend,father and husband to my big sister. Rest well my brother I will miss you.
Love ya!

So sorry for the loss of Kenny he was always a joker. He would sometimes come to my grandfather's farm and help out when I was younger. He was my dad's younger cousin. He would play baseball and kickball with my younger brother Dean up at farm. He will sadly be missed by all.MAY HE REST IN PEACE WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.

Few couples can say they have known each other 40 years; not many can say they have been married to their bestfriend for 26 years, for better and for worse ... until death did us part; we lived together, loved together, grew up together, raised our children together, enjoyed our grandchildren together, laughed and weeped together ... because we loved each other so much, we loved all, even the parts that were difficult; I learned so many things from you over the years ... with one exception, how to move on without you! It helps the time apart knowing you are with our "angelgirl" until we meet again.

I am so sorry for the loss of Kenny. Although we have not seen him in a long time, I did speak with him a few months ago. Always the joker. I will forever remember Kenny as one of my brothers. He was always at our house growing up. He always gave my sister, Tina and I horse back rides. When he wasn't joking around. One real fond memory was when he was sledding with us, and Kenny and LJ went down on something other than a sled, and Kenny got his pants torn. We have told that story over the years and still I chuckle at it. May your soul be at peace. God Bless
