Diane and family
I was so saddened to hear of Ken's passing. He was so perfect as your husband and father to your children. He had such a great sense of humour and kindness and love for you and his family. Our family grew up knowing both of you for a very long time. Awesome friends to my sister Colette. Life was not easy for Ken. However he gave it his all. May he rest in peace with his heavenly family. Love Sylvia.

Although we only were neighbours to Ken, Diane and Jordan for a short time Ken quickly stole our hearts. We will miss his warm smile, heart of gold and quick wit! Ken, we miss you dearly already at the fire. Love Reese, Tenley and Tracey
