Hello Kenny,
It has certainly have been a very long time since I've lasted talked to you.
I still remember the first time we met, you came to get me and go to a church fund raising work detail after a Linda Ronstradt concert at the Salt Palace.
You were certainly quite a guy of the sorts...always awkwardly funny, but a true friend indeed.
Well my good friend I hope to be with you when we finally get to meet again.
May God Speed.
Adiós Amigo.

I spent many hours one on one speaking to Ken about a variety of things while he was a teenager, and found him to be unusually ahead of his peers when it came to deep thinking. I found myself thinking this young man has understanding far beyond his age. I was honored to have him name his son after me. We lost contact over the years, but I will always remember him. I still have the book of poetry he gave me that he wrote. I know he was deeply hurt at the death of his son. I hope he will find the peace he needed while here as he surely has a greater understanding on the other side. Best wishes to his family. Great memories of him as a young man. Rocky A. Catenzaro
I have lots of memories of a Kenny, good memories and memories with my accompanying eye rolls and head shakes. Kenny had no filters. He was kind, funny, said what he meant...a one-of-a-kind, for sure. Although I did not spend time with him over the last few years, I’m sad to hear of his passing and sorry for his family’s loss. He is remembered fondly. 💙
Ken was always quick to joke, smiling, willing to share his expertise and knowledge, and was a good friend. Tried to teach me to fly fish, I just did not have the right wrist to elbow swirl action. He would greet folks at the church door. He often would sing "I Have a Friend in Jesus" at the top of his lungs. Or to a group of the ladies he would bust out with " To All the Girls I've Loved Before."
He was a dear friend and will be missed.
He loved his children, his hobbies, his girl friend, and his friends.
He loved Jesus!!! And had a way of summarizing our salvation from sin in a very succinct way, that helped a number of us grow in our Christian love.
There is no doubt he went to Jesus.
But is probably asking if it is too early for Ken jokes.
In loving memory, Michelle Larsen.
