My name is Georgia Murry. I had an opportunity to meet Ken here at Champagne Place Apts. I was deeply saddened & hurt by Ken's passing. I called him my second son. He was a nice, kind, caring and respectful young man. Glad that our paths crossed. He will definitely be missed. Praying for the Blair Fam. May GOD grant them comfort and peace at this time.

Praying for the family - deepest condolences.

A testimony to Kenneth's life and spirit is the number of men at his Atlanta home church, Headland Heights UMC, who were sadden by his passing but then reflected on his smile, temperament and spirit, and then smiled too. God bless you Kenny. Your smile will always be with us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Blair, Holmes, and Walls Family. May God give you strength and comfort now and in the coming days. Treasure the many memories you shared with Kenneth that will forever be in your heart. I will remember sharing time with him as we learned to square dance together.
