Kenny, we will truly miss you, it was a blessing having you apart of our family. I will miss all the good time we had. Will never forget that beautiful smile. Rest in Peace we love you. My condolences to the family. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Kenneth was my oldest and best friend since the age of 7. My family and I moved in the home next door to him. One cold winter afternoon, he noticed me playing alone in my back yard. He hopped his fence and ran right to me, and introduced himself. We discovered that we were the exact same age, and our birthdays were only 2 weeks apart in the same month. The rest is history..... I can go on for days about our daily adventures as children. As adults we still kept in touch with each other where we could; and whenever we would reconnect... it's like time never passed us. I'll love him and cherish his memory, always and forever.
Remember all the good times you had with your son. God has you and your son in his arms.
My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your beloved son. My prayers and condolences in your time of bereavement.

Kenneth was one of my former fifth grade students at Magnolia Elementary School. He was always very mannerable in my class just as he was when our paths crossed a few weeks ago, while he was on a job. It sadden me to learn of his transitioning from his Earthly Home. To the family, you all are in my family's thoughts and prayers.
