I will keep you in my thoughts. Love,

Hallo Ken,
wir haben Dich bei Eurer Hochzeit in Deutschland kennen und schätzen gelernt.
Ich habe Dich und Deine Familie im September 2011 besucht.
Du hast mit Deiner Familie alles getan damit es eine schöne Zeit wird, und es ist euch gelungen. Ich habe Tanjas und Deine Stärke bewundert wie Ihr mit der Situation umgegangen seid. Das zeigt das Du nie aufgeben wolltest.
Aber es kam anders.
Wir werden uns bestimmt wiedersehen, aber lass mir noch Zeit.
Good Bey Ken
Fiedi & Familie
Ken, I am so glad you are at peace now! You really put up a great fight for the kids and I! I am so happy to have been your wife and walk each and every path with you. The kids and I miss you more than words can say but I know that someday we will meet again... Love forever, Tanja
Ken you were a gentleman in the true sense of the word. Your love for Tanja, Tea and Max was always evident. May God grant you everlating rest and peace.
Tanja, your love and support for Ken and the kids during this difficult period is a tribute in itself. God will continue to grant you the strength going forward.
My deepest sympathy goes to Ken's family. Ken is one of the kindest souls I have ever met. His ability to listen, understand and offer compassionate advice is second to none. He is a light and example to all who had the privilege and honor to know him. I will sorely miss you, my friend. May eternal peace be yours!
Ken, you will be forever in my very heart for a lifetime. I'll never forget our close relationship especially through the rough times in my life. You always stood by my side with tremendous compassion and understanding. You will be dearly missed by all of us. I'll remember the great times we had together as part of my family.
I worked with Ken in multiple jobs and he was always one of the best people to work with. We also had a great time at the range. I know he has gone to a range where you never run out of ammo so he will have a great time there. Tanja, let me know if I can do anything to help. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids.
Our lives weaved in and out together for so many years, so many memories. As I promised you, I will share theses memories with your family for years to come, you are missed my friend!
My condolence to Ken's family! I worked with Ken for a few years and I must say he is one of the most kindest and easy going person I have ever met. In the workplace he was always willing to help with any issue and was truly a kind hearted soul.
So sad to see you leave us at such a young age. Ken you will be missed my friend. May you rest in peace!
I will truely miss Ken. What an outstanding guy. I only wish I has gotten
A chance to know him better. I regret not being able to make the service. Rest well my friend...
The time we could spend was too short.
6 yaers ago Tanja introduced Kenneth to us with the words “no one has a heart like him”
She was right and we will never forget him. Ken will be missed sadly.
Always our thoughts and prayers are with Tanja, the kids, Ken`s mom and brother.
In Germany we say “no one really died, as long as he lives in your heart.”
In our hearts Ken will have a place forever.
From day one I have taken you to my heart...and now I am very sad that you had to go at such a young age.We have seen us only a few times, but my thoughts were always with you,Tanja,Tea and Max.
Tanja, ich hab dich lieb und bin sehr stolz auf dich.
We miss you...You was the best son in law for us and a loving husband and dad for Tanja,Tea and Max.
Everbody changed the world a little bit with his life, you have enriched the life of so many people.
We promise you to help Tanja and the kids with all our strength and love.
I will miss you brother... - Evan
