Kenneth was a wonderful, dear friend!
We always loved laughing and talking. We will meet again someday, but until then, Rest In Peace, friend!
Kay, my prayers are with you and your family.
So sorry for your loss. Sending my prayers and condolences to the family. You’re lifted up in prayer. Thanks, Sekeitha ‘Keitha’ Horsley -Jones.
May God be with Kenneth's family at this time..give them peace and comfort..He served his country well, and his family also..my deepest sympathy.
We are heartbroken to hear of Kenneth passing. We thought the world of him. We love you Mrs. Kay, and you are in our hearts and prayers.
God bless Kenneth's family and friends during this time of grief. He was a good friend and a significant part of our HSHS family. In my mind's eye, I can still hear the announcer at football games calling his name and number as a running back.
Thank you for your service to your community and to our nation.

Kenneth was a lifelong friend of my dad's and I remember all the good times they had along with being his babysitter for Travis and Tracy, the memories are fondly remembered. God bless Kay and the kids. My heart goes out to you.
Many school memories of Kenneth.So so sorry for your loss .
Kay, I am very sorry to learn of Kenneth's passing. He was such a good friend to Jimmy and all the Cook family. He was kind enough to visit Jerry in the nursing home, and she appreciated him so much. Whenever I saw him, I always enjoyed catching up, and he had a way of making you feel like you were the sole focus of his attention when he was talking with you. Loved that sly little grin of his! He will be missed by many.
Heaven gained a wonderful man. Ms. Kay, we are lifting you in prayers. May God be with you and your kids during this time of grief. May he hold you tight and light your path.
