He would develop, organize and complete a task while pulling in people throughout a project. He enjoyed his siblings, and easily accepted responsibility in parenting his younger siglings. By lending a hand in their religious, educational, and family, values. He was a gift to our loving family.
Ken honored his mother and father. He fully accepted the responsibility to care for his parents. Kenneth had passion for his good morning cup of coffee and cigarette on the back deck. Enjoying the start of the day in quiet thought and reflection. He always gave an answer of wisdom to any question or situation one needed help with. Whatever, he had he was happy to share. He was a strong believer in the lord and fashioned his life in following the Lord's life. He always listened with a heart of compassion and without judgement.
Kenneth was a handy baker who was the only person in the family who baked cakes with the legendary Adams chocolate cake frosting. He loved chocolate so much that he would eat half the batter before placing the batter the backing pan. Kenneth loved music and sang in an angelic voice. Throughout his life he sang in a number of musical groups. He was kind and honest an accepted "you" for "you" and allowed you to be your own person - always loving. He never complained even when times were hard. He still found a joke to laugh at and a way to make you smile. Ken had a sense of irony that made everyone see an issue or problem from all sides. He always saw the bright end of things.
Ken loved his family. He always led the charge for any family gathering or event. He was always the first to arrive and to get things started and the last to leave. He will never be forgotten. The celebration of Kenneth life will be held at a later date.
