For 7 years we worked out together at Powerhouse Gym and worked Detroit's westside. It has taken me 17 years to walk back into the gym and bench, but today I did. As I stood staring at the weights I could hear your voice telling me it was time. As I looked up at the weights from the bench all I heard was, "Focus. You got this." And then it happened, just like that I hit 135 for 5 unassisted. I stood up from the bench and cried.

I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to acknowledge you, but I'm finally able to grieve your loss. There has not been a day that you are not thought of. Till we meet again my friend.

Hey Kenneth I was thinking about you the other day when I drove past the Powerhouse Gym on Woodward. That was one of your favorite places. I remember how you loved to bench press and show off those guns. They didn't call you "tank" for nothing. It's been 11 years and I still miss you and our friendship. Continue to rest in peace.

Hey bro, I have very fond memories of us laughing together at the gym when you were aspiring to Join DPD. I still remember the joy and excitement in your eyes when you told me you got accepted into the academy. I have even fonder memories of you coming into #9 backing us up and being that huge wall for me to hide behind. I am truly glad DPD honored you the way you deserve to be. Thanks for your love and support during my difficult time bro.

Hey Daniels! I am glad to finally see the department got their act together so you can be honored the way you deserve to be.

You were a great partner to work with and always great to have around, especially when we were cleaning house somewhere. It's a shame that this coward did what he did and caused us to lose a great cop and friend. Rest in peace my friend. You are missed dearly.

To Ken and all his loved ones:

Ken, you rescued us, saved our possessions, our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Ken. Your memory is honored and revered today and everyday.

Sometimes you get the bad guys and sometimes they get you. So sad this is how your career ended. You deserved so much more. What a beautiful
tribute to you by Brandon Cole. Someone must be crazy to tangle with you!
I guess none of us is invincible. My heart goes out to those still missing you
after only 4 years. God Bless!

It is very said that someone would take the life of someone who is trying to protect and serve this great City of Detroit. My condolences go out to not only the department, but also to the parents, children, and many, many friends that Off. Daniels had. You will never be forgotten and I hope you Rest In Peace on behalf of all citizens in the City of Detroit.
