you will always be my son. I have loved you for 50 years and will never stop. I miss you already and life without you has only begun. I look forward to the day when i will once again see you. This time you will be whole and healthy, with no pain or suffering. Until then, i lean on GOD, your sisters, your wife and your two beautiful daughters, and am so happy you got to spend a little time with your only grandchild, Sariah. I love you, bubby, my KW. my heart.

Kenny was a great friend back in the day when I worked at Chrysler. A good man will be missed.

To my dear sweet wonderful husband, 

I don't know how I am going to navigate through this life without you. You were my partner, my therapist, my best friend, the father of my child, my social butterfly, my one true love, my soulmate. I miss you so much it hurts. You made the calls I didn't want to make, stayed awake when I just couldn't, told me not to worry when worry was all I could seem to do, made the bad things that happened somehow seem ok, found the hope in my hopeless times, gave me patience when I had none, made me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry, stayed quite and still while I yelled and screamed, took my family and friends as your own, made my problems yours to fix, gave me strength when I had none, and so much more. To think that I don't have you to pull me up when I am down is such a scary place to be. Even as I write this, I can hear you saying it will be ok, be positive, it will all work out, or telling a ridiculously silly, stupid joke. I can't believe you are really gone. You worked so hard to make sure we would be ok if you had to leave us, but I need you so much still. I was not ready to let you go. I feel like we didn't get enough time together here on earth. It feels like our story was interrupted. I know you are flying high in heaven with perfect peace and love. For that I am truly happy, but my selfish side just wants to bring you home again. To hold me close and comfort me. To warm my cold feet. To tell me I'm not crazy when I overreact. To help me raise our child to who she is meant to be. I know it will all work out, God will take care of that. But I just can't help but wish that you were here at home holding us in your arms. Thank you for all you have been to us. I love you with all my heart and I will do my best to continue on with my head up high and a big smile just as you would want me to be. I love you. XOXO.

I came to know Kenny through my husband, Matt. He any Kenny have been best of friends for many years. He was the best man at our wedding and Ill never forget his toast to us on our wedding day. He told me that he would do anything for Matt and now he would do anything for me. He was a man true to his words!! What a great man he was. We are definitely better people for having him in our lives. I pray that God gives comfort to Rebekah, Savannah, Briana, and Rhoda in this time.
