“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4: 7-8 NIV

Ken was more brother than brother-in-law to us. We will miss his booming voice and infectious laugh and loving demeanor, but believe that we will experience it all again someday.
