Too many great times together to even try to mention. Ken was a great friend and we all loved him and his family. May he have good times in the saddle and many victories in the hereafter. We'll all miss his laughter and friendship. Rest in peace, good buddy!

My prayers and love to Kenny's family. I have a lot of great memories with Kenny from school. Kenny was a joy to be around and he was so funny. To Kenny's wife, the posted picture of him is so fitting, he should have been in the movies. I am so sorry about the previous message, typo. Hold on to the great memories as all of Kenny's friends will. God Bless all of you
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I knew Ken from his Georgia re-enacting days. He was friendly, easy to get along with, knowledgeable, humble and a true Southern Gentleman. Even though we didn't keep in touch over the years he is a good part of my memories. My heart and prayers are with the family in this time of sorrow. May God's grace comfort you all.

I knew Kenny my whole life. He was a wonderful person. I will never forget when we were young and he thought he was Elvis. Us youngins were very impressed. The re-enactments that I were at with Vonda and Ken were some of the best times of my life. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. Vonda and Kevin you are in my prayers. God Bless You.
