    I am so sorry. My brother went through scouts with Keith. I remember being a little kid and “helping” Kenny with his Eagle project, by hanging bird houses, that he had made, all over the place. I didn’t know he even had sisters. lol They were all such good, genuine people. Please accept my condolences. Prayers to you all.

    I graduated high school with Kenny. I also knew him from Boy Scouts and square dancing. I knew his father and Keith as well. He was a good man. My condolences to his family.

    I worked with Ken and enjoyed our various conversations some of which included topics about headphones, and 3d printing. I may have been the last to see him at work on our team. It came as a shock to hear of his passing. I am praying for your family during this time of loss.

    So sorry for your loss. I was just reading the latest issue of the Cedar Smoke and saw Kenny’s name in the back. I grew up with Kenny out in Eastern Independence. We went all through school together and most of our scouting days. He was always so smart and mature. I think he must have been wise beyond his years. I knew his dad and Keith as well. So sorry to hear of their passing too. I was the president of the Fort Osage Class of ‘84 so I’ll be sure to let others know. Peace
