    Always warm and welcoming, with an unending love for God, family, his pups, and a good joke. Ken is a man who will be missed greatly, and I will remember him with much love and respect.

    I was just thinking about Kenny a couple weeks ago. We go way back, double dating in High School. Then working on the Rail Road together. I always call him Fleetwood on the radio RIP my old friend.

    Kenny and I attended Muncie Elementary and Turner High Schools together. He was a great guy from the get go. I will always have my fond memories of our time together growing up. Love to all the family and friends.

    Well brother, it’s been over a year now and I can’t still shake the loss. Coffee, breakfast, Christmas Eve, road trips, we did it all. Best brother a person could ever have.
