I just found out tonight about Kenny’s passing. I had a bad feeling something had happened when I hadn’t heard from him after trying to reach him the last few days. Kenny always answered or called me back when I reached out. I’m so sad to get this terrible news.

Kenny had a tough go at this life. He talked to me about his mental health and resulting experiences and I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it truly was to walk in his shoes. I only hope he is finally at peace now. He was a good friend to me for 23 years and I will miss him dearly, as I know all that knew and lived him will. My heart goes out to all of his other friends and to his family grieving his loss during this already difficult time. Linda, Mark, Greg - if there’s anything I can do, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I’ve made a donation in Kenny’s memory to NAMI of Pierce Co. and I hope that others will too. Rest easy now, Kenny. I love you, brother.
