I was quite heartbroken to hear of Ken's illness and subsequent passing. He accepted my daughter into his family as his own. Best father-in-law she could ask for. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Love you Annette, Sara, Brian & Elizabeth, Hali Mo and Emily.

Im so sorry for your loss. If it wasn't for Kenny, I never would have gotten my family off to a great start!!  My condolences to Nettie and famiy!!

Kenny was a dear friend of my brother Tom Kirby, also a friend of ours. He will be deeply missed by us. It was a shock to hear of his death.
We give deepest sympathies to the family, Tom, said especially wife and kids.
We just found out about his death.
Of course Tom is in a nursing home and cannot get along without help,is now an invalid, but was so surprised, and said he would miss Kenny very much and wished that he had been able to attend services.
God Be with you all.
Tom Kirby and Frank & Marty Golden.

What a complete shock to hear of Ken's passing. Our hearts go out to the entire family in this tremendous loss. Ken has been our "go to" guy for remodeling work for a number of years. His consistent quality, great insights, dependability and working manner made him number one with no seconds. He always had glowing words to say about his family and often expressed his pride in them. Please accept our most sincere and heartfelt sympathies. May the sweet Lord Jesus comfort you and draw you unto Himself in the time of need.

Sending peaceful, comforting energy to everyone...I went to school with Kenny.  Kaye (Reeve) Fullerton

My heart goes out to my sister-in-law, Annette and my niece and nephew, Sarah and Brian.  Kenny was a very special person whom would do anything for anyone.  He was  very hard working and pride the jobs he worked on.  He also loved life fishing, working on all his cars and going to NASCAR racing. He loved his family and was always at special events that we all had.  Kenny was a wonderful brother to me and ever so often I would get a surprise call from him.  I will miss him so very much.  I am glad you are at peace now and no longer in pain.  Until we meet again, you will always be in my heart.  I love you.  Your sister, Lorraine and brother-in-law, keith
