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.
