Always a joy to be around. Always made me feel like his favorite Aunt !! 

Like so many others in his life, we shared countless times of activity and good cheer. 
Golfing, boating, racquetball, attending the sports events in the arena suites that were provided thru his employer Magna.  And of course, the many, many times I shared in the impromptu social gatherings with our mutual engineering friends. He was smart, intuitive, quick thinker and quick witted along with a hearty laugh. Great memories in all !! 

So sorry to hear today about Ken's passing. What a great guy and a pleasure to work with, and I say this from being on the other side of the business table from him. I could always look forward to and expect a fair, logical, and pleasant discussion with Ken. May his soul Rest In Peace.

To Paul and Lauren,
You don't know me but I worked with your dad at HP Pelzer and again at Gissing/Conform.  He and I traveled together to Germany for a project once.  He was a good person.  
I commend you both for getting up and speaking at the end of mass.  Its a difficult thing to lose a father.  Much like you both, I lost mine when he was 60 and during the wake and funeral when emotions were running from high to low someone said something to me that I would like to share.  The phrase was; "It never gets any easier, only more familiar".  I didn't know what to make of this statement at the time, it stuck with me though and over time I've realized its quite profound.  I thought I would share what I believe this phrase means with you both. and hope it aids you in this journey and in life.  
"It never gets any easier" - is a testament to your relationship with your dad.  The fact it doesn't get easier over time shows how much you cared and love your dad.  
"It only gets more familiar" - explains how we must continue to move forward even in the face of loss.  It means continuing on in your life and doing well honors your father's memory.  
Of all the discussions during my own father's passing this single phrase stuck with me and has helped me over the years.  I hope this in some way aids you both. You have my sincerest condolences in your loss.  

Very sorry to hear this news. We hired Ken to HP Pelzer in the late 90’s and he was a good guy that everyone liked.  Way too young to pass.  My sincerest condolences to his entire family.  God bless you. 

Best Regards

 Ken’s passing has left the Stant family shook. It was  such a joy knowing him And as hard as it is for us to believe this, I cannot imagine what the family is going through. My sincere condolences to the Gagnon Family. 

Ken was a great guy, we hit it off when we first met my freshman year, HS swimming! It was great reuniting with him again last year, first time in many indeed! He was a class guy, and a fine swimmer, his shoes tough to fill after he graduated HS, as I had to learn the Butterfly 🦋 Stroke in his absence-tall order! He was slated to come to visit again here in southern Florida (he, too, loved this area) in a month, and wanted me to sign a copy of my new book in person (he was a staunch supporter during this endeavor as well!). 

He never lost his witty ways, sense of humor, and sense of kindness. It was an honor and privilege to swim in the same Medley Relay with seniors Ken, Mike Nurse, and Pat Jones, and we took many points in that event all season, our best in my four years there! If I knew that he golfed, I would have suggested a few rounds while he visited. 

He will be missed by many, and my deepest condolences to the fine Gagnon family. I will donate to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC in his memory and honor, and a few others too.

RIP 🪦 Ken

I worked with Ken for several years and he was always a friendly, jovial presence in the office. It was a pleasure to know him and I was very sad to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to the Gagnon family and all those around him. 

We had some wonderful times together. At work and on the golf courses plus the days we participated in managing and selling products for the various company's we worked for. I will greatly miss Ken. He will always be in my heart. Love from Al & Susan Attee.

As Ken’s cousin, I have so many wonderful memories growing up as kids. All the fancy Christmas dinners at Aunt Jackie & Uncle Ed’s house, midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, swimming in their pool in the summer, dinners at Grandma & Grandpa Gagnon’s, all of us together in their living room and kitchen.  Ken was the cool, cute older cousin, all my girlfriends wanted to be introduced to him!  Later as adults, whenever I saw Ken, it was if I just saw him yesterday.  He was so charismatic, friendly and had the best laugh!  He made everyone feel welcome and liked.  It is hard to fathom that I won’t be running into him on Lake St. Clair and hearing him laugh and talk about his great kids.  Sending my deepest, heartfelt condolences to Lauren, Paul, Aunt Jackie, Julie, Joe, and Sue along with their families.  Rest in peace, Ken.

Our condolences  to the Gagnon family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Ken’s family especially his children.  I had the pleasure of meeting Ken in my hometown of St Clair Shores 7 years ago and spent time with him and Kari.  I am saddened by this loss of a life gone much too soon.  Rest In Peace Ken (Mac N Cheese).  🙏

I am so sorry to learn this. Ken and I worked closely for many years as seat engineers. 
We worked, and laughed, a lot.
My condolences to all his family.

There are simply no words to describe the pain of today. Fortunately there are also no words to adequately describe the joy that comes with remembering Ken and the friendship and guidance he gave us. Just being around him are some of the best days of my life. He will be thought of every day in the future followed by a smile. I pray for each of you hoping the smiles quickly outnumber the tears. 

My condolences to the Gagnon family.
May your beautiful memories thorough out the years bring you comfort in the days ahead.  Heaven just gained another angel where he welcomed Ken home with loving arms.
