I am so sorry to hear about Kenny. Some of my fondest memories as a child include Kenny and Melissa. Even in the past year, I had thought of Kenny and contacting him. I didn't. We should keep in contact with the ones who make us who we now are. He will be missed.

My prayers are with all of you. I have found memories of Kenny and growing up at Bethel Grove. I pray that each of you are comforted by Our Lord. Even though it has been many years since I have seen any of the Qualls family it hurts my heart to hear about your loss of Kenny. May The Lord Bless You and Keep You.

To the Qualls Family,
It is with my deepest sympathy to hear of Kenny's homecoming. He was a great friend and loving person. He and I shared many conversations when he lived in Lexington about everything. I am grateful that God allowed me to be a part of his life for a season. He loved his family, and spoke very proudly about his daughters. I miss him and will keep you in my prayers..

To Kenny's family,
My deepest sympathies to all of you. I went to Huntsville High with Kenny and know that he was such a great guy. While I have not seen him in many, many years, I could tell by his Facebook page that his greatest joy was his family and his two beautiful daughters. My prayers are with you today as you celebrate his life. May God give you peace, strength, and comfort.
Sincerely,
Ken & Sandy Colburn
