  3. Theron Isaacs, Ash Flat, AR says

    Ken was always a great friend and I have many memories of him as a co-worker but many more memories of seeing him enjoy his grand daughters playing basketball. He loved being around young people and athletics and always had a smile on his face and a word of encouragement! We have lost a wonderful person and great friend.

  4. Mary Jane Francis King, Fayetteville, AR says

    My heartfelt sympathy goes out to this most wonderful family. Ken was not only a friend to our family, but a best friend to my Dad Norman Sr. They both enjoyed a good laugh together and pulling various pranks. Ken was definitely a model father and husband. He will be greatly missed, but heaven does have a gain.

    Nancy & I want to express our great sorrow in the passing of a dear friend. We had known and liked Ken since he came to Trumann many years ago. May the Lord give strength and comfort to the family during this time of sorrow. We cannot attend the funeral but will be at the grave service.

  21. Bobby and Myra Condra, Trumann, Ar says

    From day 1 God had Ken's life completely mapped out in our Trumann community. Ken provided food, thoughtful words, and acts of encouragement, kindness, and support. God used him in so many mission fields here: restaurant, insurance, landlord and many other areas. He gave me words of wisdom when I needed insurance advice, Bobby will miss him at yard sales where he was always looking for bargains for his tenants. He will be missed by us and all of our community. It was obvious the love that he had for our community and the love that he had for his family. Thanks for sharing him.

  22. Lora Willis Golden, Jonesboro says

    To me this a highly favored man. He will always be remembered in my heart. I'm sorry I could not make it but I had prior work engagements. This will be a difficult time but know that he will live on in your memories and your heart. Everyone says that as time goes by it gets easier. I disagree with that, you just learn to live with it. It is never easier. Know that each of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Lora Golden
