We take this moment to fondly remember our friends, classmates who have passed away.
Ken did not get a chance to graduate with us, however I know he would have done something wonderful and grand with his life.
I knew Ken personally. He was an old soul. I can remember him having a love for old music especially The Beatles. He was always kind, easy going, and gentle.

I remember Ken loved to be around the ladies as much as he could and was always passing out his share of hugs as much as he could; he was such a clown and i admired him at times how easily he could blend in with anyone and everyone...i miss you and your hugs and i remember the day i heard you had left us... but yet you really haven't.

The date was June 6, 1988 but it only seems like yesterday. Ken was a true and good friend. He was always one to welcome people. I miss his laid back and funny attitude. He could always bring a smile to everyones face, regardless of how you were feeling.Cynthia West (Groves)
I didn't know Ken very well, but I do have a story to share...a memory of him that I will always carry with me...and that I just shared with some friends at work just the other day. For anyone that remembered me in high school, it's no big secret that I was a bit of an odd ball...part nerd, part tom-boy, and complete fashion disaster (truth be known, twenty years later, it's pretty much the same story). I had an extremely hard time fitting in...and only had a couple of friends that I normally ate lunch with. Well, one day, they were both out, so there I sat, completely alone at lunch. Ken walked over and asked if he could sit and eat lunch with me. I was shocked, but very grateful. I swear it was like he could see that I was alone and could really use a kind word and smiling face that day. We made small talk while we ate...I knew him, and it turns out he knew who I was because we had shared a few classes. When we finished eating, he thanked me for my company, and I thanked him for his, but I don't know that he ever knew just how much his kindness that day meant to me. I wish I would have had a chance to let him know...but unfortunately, we didn't speak again before he passed. It's such a very rare thing when someone touches another life so profoundly in just a few minutes that it creates a fond memory that stays with you for lifetime, but Ken did just that. Thanks Ken.Christina Jones
Over the years I have tucked fond memories of Ken and I during class. Ken was a wonderful person who was quite a gentleman, caring and very funny. He use to make me laugh so much. When I learned of Ken's death in school, I can remember feeling very sick and shocked! I attended the memorial service. I have always felt that Ken is one of my angels that has protected me over the years. He left a lifetime of precious memories that will stay with me forever.Blessings,
