Kenneth was baptized in Goodman, Missouri, on August 22, 1982.

He loved many sports, crossword puzzles, and old movies.

Kenneth was a servant of Jehovah and loved talking about his hope of the long promised resurrection
where we will see our loved ones again. No more sickness, pain, or death (Revelation 21:3,4).

This is a promise from Jehovah. We will see each other soon. The earth will be a paradise.

A memorial talk will be given by Michael Christenson on March 28 at 2:00 p.m.
