this is for Kenneth Jacob Albert Ruiter.May God be with you and love and miss you very much

I will always remember you huge smile your kind heart and your big bat at the plate. We went to high school together, played varsity baseball together, had class together and shared many great memories together. You are deeply missed by friends family and everyone you came in contact with. Till we meet again brother i tip my hat for you...CHEERS!

Connie,Kim & Ed,  When you called and I heard the sad news about Kenny, Larry and I were grief stricken.  Young people are not suppose to go before their parents. Our hearts are filed with sadness for all of you..I remember Kenny as a young kiddo going off with his football gear in one hand and the door shutting behind him and he saying to you Connie, I"m late mom,can't talk now!  All the times he was up fishing, he was always quiet and just went about his business,  Kenny and Kim riding the golf carts around having a blast. I can still hear them laughing and Kim giggling.  Memories are what make a life time, and sometimes when a young man is called home before any of us, that are left on this earth, we wonder why oh why has this happened?  In the great plan that our Father, the all mighty GOD has a master plan and we are all in it.  We are not to question, but know that there is a reason for why this has happened.  And when we are all called home we will then all be re-united with our loved who have gone before us.  What a wonderful time that will be.  Our fond memories of Kenny will remain in our hearts! Our love for you Connie, Kim, & Ed will surrounding you during this time of sadness and always.  Thinking of you all, and keeping you in our prays always.  May God carry you  in the palm of his hand in this time of pain and sadness.  Judy and Larry Nicklas

My heart goes out to you, Connie.  Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.

Kenny was a man that i will never forget. He was wild and crazy and loved to just be himself. I wouldnt want him any other way. He is and forever and always will be my big brother and i will always look up to him. it was sad to see him go at such a young age, but he will stay in our hearts and in our memories forever. I love you Kenny. And yes you are the sexy fat hairy white guy i have ever met.

Kenny,
 I will miss you very much. We had alot of good times together from you skipping around on the Nature Walk to you staying with us for those few months at my place. We had many laughs and I will always keep you in my heart! I always saw you as my older brother also! Love you

Ken...buddy I will miss you so much, you did alot for me. I will always remeber "cause your my best friend" and jump into your arms.  I love ya buddy and your in my heart forever.

Ed and Connie, 
I'm sorry to hear of the death of your loved one. I would like to leave you with an encouraging and comforting scripture found at Job14:14,If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?
All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait,Until my relief comes.
 You may also want to read Ecclesiastes 9:5 which tells us about the condition of the dead.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

My deepest sympathy!  This message would be easier if my eyes would stop leaking!  We have been through alot together!  It does take a Village to raise a child!  Your family will remain in my prayers(as they have been for many years).  Big hugs, Janet Lovegrove

Connie,Kim,Ed,

I hope you know you raised a genuinely great and kind hearted son! You should be very proud because people like that are very rare to come by!

Love cousin Danielle and Rylee
