Thinking of you today. It hurts my heart to know I can not pick up the phone to call you. I still have every letter you wrote me when you were in Germany. When I think of you I think about meeting your family and you coming to meet mine and, of course, Plarm Creek. I will forever cherish our memories. Rest in love until we meet again.
I worked with Ken for many years. Loved his stories and his friendship. RIP my Dear Friend!
I have worked at Conway Regional with Ken for the last several years. Even as I went part time about 6 years ago, everytime I would call him while at work or see him, he would take the time to say hi and ask how I have been. He was a blessing to all that knew him and encountered him throughout their shift. Heaven has gained an angel and he will be missed.
I worked with Ken for many years. He was a joy to work with. We at Conway Regional will miss him greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
I went to school with Kenny and he was our neighbor for a good many years. So sorry for your loss, he was a precious young man. He helped my grandpa on his farm many times. Kenny was always so kind and helpful. Prayers for all his family. Rest In Peace dear friend.
Kenny, you will be missed. RIP my friend.
I love you more today than yesterday . Now and forever. Give your Uncle Clyde a hug for me.

Ken has always been there for me. From early morning when my car wouldn't start, to fixing my sink, roof, etc. The most selfless man I knew. Wonder friend and father figure. I love you always papa Ken.
He was a wonderful person and a get co-worker, he will be missed by all.
Kenny and I served together in Germany and Desert Storm. Always good for a laugh and a someone that would do anything for others. A great loss to our family from Bravo Battery 4/43. You will be missed brother.
Our hearts are heavy and deeply saddened this day. Ken was a big part of a beautiful extended military family. He was respected and loved by them all. Ken was they man you wanted on your side. He was a true friend and a dedicated soldier. He was always there when anyone needed him. He was quite the character, always quick to make you laugh. He loved dancing and he was really good! There are so many things we will miss about him but above all his kind heart.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Rest in peace Kenny. Until we meet again.

So sorry to hear this news! Kenny was such a nice person. We rode the school bus together and were neighbors growing up! Then when daddy was sick, Kenny worked with him at the hospital. He was so kind to him. He will be missed.
Mr. Haigwood was such a loving caring man. He is going to be truly missed. Car-Mart Family.
I love you and miss you Ken, I will never forget you taught me how to country dance at the alpine club in Giessen Germany. So many wonderful memories of you. Left footprints on all those around you. A real American Hero! I agree with what Joyce posted? He has fought this cancer hard for so long. Ken was an amazing man & friend & he loved all his 4-43 ADA family so dearly. Rest in peace my dear friend and brother. You will be very missed by us all.
SAVE A DANCE FOR ME KEN....
Ken was such a nice person, I am so glad to have known him.
I'm really going to miss you Ken. Prayers for the family
