Uncle Ken was the best uncle I could’ve asked for and I can’t describe how much he will be missed. I will always cherish the memories from days spent out at the farm going fishing and relaxing out on the patio to learning how to make the best hot sauce and barbecue to everything else. He brought happiness and laughter everywhere he went. He will be dearly missed and always remembered with love and happiness.

I am so sorry to hear of my cousin Ken passing away.
I have good memories of us as kids going to our Grandmother & Granddaddy Massey’s house for Christmas. Those were good times. Even though Ken and I didn’t visit now we texted each other to see how our families were and just to chat. I’m going to miss those texts. Prayers for Aunt Agnes, Carol and Nancy and family . Love Connie Massey Parson
Ken is a beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew and brother-in-law. To me, he is my amazing, brilliant and kind big brother. Growing up, he was my hero, then my mentor, my champion and finally my best friend. He was always there when I needed him and we faced tragedies, joys, triumphs and fears together. I could not imagine a more perfect brother. To my children, he was the uncle that celebrated every important occasion in their lives. The highlight of their childhood summers were the times they spent with him when we visited Tennessee and he made sure that they knew how important they were to him and that he loved them. We are blessed to have him in our family and he is and always will be missed beyond words.
Ken was always a soft spoken and delightful person to be around. It was always nice to know he was a neighbor we could count on if needed. Shirley and I will miss having his presence. Our hearts goes out to Nancy and the family and we hope they can find solace in the wonderful life he lived.

Ken was my wonderful compassionate nephew that I loved dearly. I have so many memories of him that I cherish that I would not know how to choose just one to share. At this heartbroken moment, I can only say that he will always be my special loving nephew that added immeasurable joy and love to my life. I will always miss him. Aunt Wanda
Ken was my cherished and loving son. I proudly watched him grow into a kind and considerate person that would go out of his way to help anyone that he could. I also watched with pride as he earned his Doctorate in Pharmacy and a Masters degree in Finance and then went on to create a loving and happy home life. He was always there to provide support and guidance for all issues that arose in my life. His passing has left a hole in my heart and life that will never be filled. He was a wonderful son and I’m so proud and blessed to be his mother.

Nancy, Ken was a great guy and a lot of fun to talk to. He had a way of making whomever he was visiting with feel comfortable like they had known each other for years, even if it was a new acquaintance. I'm sure that he, grandpa Macky Mack, and, grandma Leta Lee are laughing and talking as we speak. Love you all, Danny and Gale.
Nancy & family, Terry & I are saddened by the passing of Ken. Ken was so compassionate & helpful in navigating healthcare & understanding how to communicate with physicians when cancer struck our family. He reminded us constantly about work/home balance. We enjoyed meeting for brunch in Knoxville before Mizzou-Tennessee games, and despite his love for all things orange, he was a great guy! Thoughts, prayers, & much love— Sherri & Terry Graves
