Kevin and Mr. Kim ("Brother-in-law", "Whiteboy", "Kennymus") YOU will be missed. No matter what happened during the day, you always found a way to make a joke of it and put a smile on our faces. It's still hard to believe that you're gone. I know there's a party wherever you are and plenty of laughter.

You were a most unique individual -thinking back I think our happiest times were living with Pap and Granny on their farm in Cumberland, VA. You were always inquisitive and mischeavious and had the ability to charm just about everyone you can in contct with. As you matured you had such a quick wit and such talent in things you could do - I always envied those traits. No matter what happened you had the ability to bounce back with a smile and a hug. If I could turn back time I would have spent much more time with you - there is not a day that passes I do not think about you and miss you terribly. You will always be my baby brother - I love and miss you - peace be with you - Love Jackie

My uncle, one of a kind... I wish I was half as talented and funny as he always will be! If there was anything he could do better than play the guitar or design/build things out of wood was make you laugh til it hurt! Even through the tough times he never let go of his sense of humor; a big kid trapped in a man's body. To be in David's world you need to strap in and buckle up because there are just too many twists and turns, never a dull moment! You will be greatly missed, love you , Kym.

I am so sorry to hear of yet another lose in such a short amount of time. I did not know Kenny all that well, but I am sure he is deeply loved and will be missed oh so much.

April 22, 2007

I remember the first hug you gave me when you came back, and how it felt like you were never going to let go. I remember the tears you were trying so hard to hold onto at that moment. I remember your laugh, full-hearted and genuine. And your wit, Kym reminded me of that the other night. How you could come up with some of the funniest things at the drop of a hat. You are so intelligent and gifted. I will miss the times that could have been and the future that was set. It was never said enough, but I love you and will miss you. Later and gone.

Although I never knew Kenneth David Allen Jr. I know his daughter Jennifer and son Joey....... If all one leaves behind are the ties that bind us together as family, what better memorial than that of a daughter and son, 2 of the strongest individuals I know. You and your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.

You've touched so many people's lives and in turn affected other people's lives as well. Though I've never met you, you've certainly affected my life in some small way sir. Rest in peace.

I remember the night that you were following Joey and I to his house when he lived off of Brook Rd. Joey and I were in his truck and you were following. You had left the windows down in the truck and my cat, Henry, got in to sleep. Well you didn't know that he was in there until you had gotten down the road and the whole ride from Papa's was him freaking out in the truck and latching onto your leg. Despite the drive you still managed to not throw my cat from the truck and laughed about it once we got there. Just one of the few but treasured memories.

We will remember the night in 1995 that you helped us rescue our neighbors cat in Glen Allen after the cat had gone beserk and was attacking Tammy. You and I cornered the cat and had to get it in the carrier. I will miss you but will keep your memory alive.
