Kerry, Donna and Connie and families. We're thinking of you and praying for strength for you. Uncle Ken was an exceptional person who always made us smile and feel good about life. Momma adored him. I'm sure there's a big reunion taking place as I write this. We love you. Marsha and Lamar Beasley and all our family.

This is a beautiful obituary. It cannot begin to tell the story of how special he was...but to know Ken was to love Ken. He was kind, loving, loved his family and had a wicked sense of humor. RIP Ken. We will all miss you!
