Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Ken.... at a loss for words right now. I have butterflies in my stomach because I know that a lot of your loved ones are in court right now trying everything they can to get justice for that worthless piece of trash. A plea? Who would have ever thought. Your family and friends are livid, as we all should be.

My husband is there right now and he was up all night thinking about what to say in court, if anything. My thoughts are with him and everyone right now in that nasty court room. I only wish you and Steve were out squirrel hunting and laughing with each other.... no one should be going through this.

I miss you every day and I know Steve does to. It's so hard, and no, it really does not get easier with time. Our baby girl is so big now; I wish you had that chance to meet her (I know you watch over her every day). I hope that scum of the earth never sees the light of day; he doesn't even deserve a day in court.

We miss you and I am sorry this is all happening. I wish I can make it all go away.

I think stuff gets sorted out in heaven. As such, I know you're at rest.

This won't be an easy time for your family in blue, but I pray for some peace for them, too. And for your earthly family, your folks, your sister.

You'll never be forgotten, thanks agsain for your sacrifice.

I just don't feel it's enough. I suppose nothing will ever be "enough." You are missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I just hope they see your disappointed face asking them why each night when they close their eyes.

Loved by many.

What a week it was but i know you helped many of us get through it. Seems like just yesterday we were taking our chow break and talking about life and the holidays. You covered me on some stops after that and later in the shift stopped in the report room to offer help and say goodbye. Had I only known that would have been the last time we shared a good laugh together. I miss your friendship, the way you made everyone laugh at the ER, and your passion for life. Keep watching over all of us.

I was thinking all day Friday how it had already been two years. I was intending to go spend a few minutes on the bridge after work, but a couple of our deputies had a close call and I felt I needed to be there for them. I couldn't help thinking that you made sure they went home that night. Thank you.

Hey Kennyboy, two years bro... it seems like yesterday that I got the news and just couldn't accept that you were gone. You know it's weird coincidence, but yesterday I found an old photoalbum. Pics of your mom and dad's wedding were in there... pics of Wisconsin Dells... it reminded me of you. I had forgotten the date... *sigh* weird coincidence...

I just couldn't bring myself 'here' yesterday...sorry.
Last nite was the 1st time that I slept thru the nite and no nightmares.
I think of your friends and family often and hope that memories of you bring them more joy and laughter than tears.
Never forgotten; forever missed.

I don't see how life continues forward after you were so cruelly taken from us...we now live our lives as "before" and "after" this horrific date. Ryan was talking the other day on her phone and I asked who she was talking to and she just simply said, "My Ken!" That pretty much sums it up, we talk to you everyday and miss you everyday!! We are getting by for now, that is the best we can do. With you gone, there is a void that will NEVER be replaced. Thank you for taking care of us, watching over us, keeping us safe, and giving us those moments that we think we get a glimpse of you....I miss your laugh when I am telling you of yet another, "adventure" that my hubby has taken me on or has gotten me into. I could see your unforgetable smile even though we were on the phone - what a smile!! WE MISS YOU!! All our love - ME

Hi Ken,
I cant believe its been 2 years. Still seems like I just saw you in Walmart yesterday and we talked about a "team meeting" for Wednesday at Platte/Chelton. You are dearly missed and are never far from our thoughts.

I was sitting up last night thinking of you and everything that has happened since that day. The wonderful people I have had the chance to meet and get to know. How they have made my life so much richer and given me some much more purpose than I had. You made such an impact on people while you were here and your spirit continues to do that now.

My thoughts and prayers are always with your family and friends.

We Remember.

2 years already... It's really hard to believe.

So thank you for all the snow over the last week. Funny how it stopped early this morning and the sun came out. I can't think of a better way to honor you today then to go carve some runs in that fluffy stuff. And yeah, I'll try to do a better job of avoiding all those trees that you and your long skiis liked to run into :)

Seriously, I could really use some of your famous advice right now. Seems like your wisdom has guided many people who have visited this site. How about adding a little clarity to my dilema while I'm up on the slopes today. I'm running out of time...

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you or something crazy that you've done. Ryan walked head first into a handicap sign last week and the first thing out of his mouth was "I just did a Ken!" Your memories are everywhere! and I'm thankful for that.

I love ya and miss ya lots

Be close to those who love and miss you today, let them feel the warmth of your continued presence, and see the incredible impact you made in the world. Flood them all with fond memories of good times shared, and dry tears with happy thoughts of your bright smile... May we all strive to live by your examples of enjoying every moment fully and fighting for good to conquer over evil.

Who said time heals all wounds? It just gets easier to breathe, nothing has been healed. One of the last emails I got from you, you said we needed to get together so you could give me my moose. We never got to have that meeting. Of course I didn't know then that you would be gone so suddenly. Had I known, I would have...I don't know what I would have said or done. But I would have hugged you and made sure that when you walked away you knew that you changed my life forever. You were the protector of so many and you continue to do so today. Who could ask for a better guardian angel? I think I've said this before but we are all so blessed to have known you. And I for one am a better person for it.
