Ken was one the kindest and caring individuals I've known. A lot of people, including me, are better because of him.
Such a big loss. God bless you Ken! Job well done.

to kens family, my deepest condolences to you and all of yours. I was in Michigan until late least night and was unable to attend the wake. I can assure you that I would have been there if I had been in town. I had worked with ken since the day he started at Dresden. im a big snowmobiler and ken loved messing with the older sled he bought and I was familiar with the Polaris sleds, so we would talk sleds much of the winter. he was a great guy to work with and it didn't matter to ken if you were a craft level worker or a high level manager. he was willing to help guys on jobs anytime. he will be sorely missed here to say the least. he was a very down to earth guy and a "go to" guy for many of us here in emd. again my deepest regrets for not being able to make the service in person. marty boban

Our deepest condolences to Ken's family (especially Jennifer and the kids). Ken was such a blessing to have at Joliet MX and we are truly honored to have gotten to know him and his family over the years. He always had a smile on his face and his passion for racing clearly showed! We are very blessed to have watched him and Ryan ride and race together every week. The bond they shared was indescribable.
Ken was truly a class-act and a great guy. We are all going to miss him tremendously.
Ride on Ken #43!!
The Martino Family

Dearest Jen, Not sure if you remember me but I met you through taking care of my dear friend Debbie Creed. We are out of state on vacation and Cathy Lowery called to let me know of the tragic accident Ken had. My heart and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Sorry I'm not able to see you in person but know that you and your family are in my thoughts. Keep all those good memories close in your heart for they will bring smiles in the tough times. God Bless, Suzanne

So shocked and sorry to read this news. I am sitting here thinking of all the fun times Kenny and I shared growing up. It's funny how far apart life has taken us, yet seeing this picture of Ken, takes me right back to Fredonia and simpler times. Prayer and strength to family, I cannot imagine what you are going through.

Let me just say that I was shocked to see the news. I cannot say I knew Ken very well but I coached Ryan in baseball and I just wanted to take a second and let the entire family know that our thoughts and prayers are with them. Life is unfortunately never long enough regardless of the time allowed when it comes to our loved ones, but heaven is eternity to believers of Jesus. I will be thinking of you all.

My prayers and all my love goes out to my niece and to my great nieces and nephew.
I only got to be around Ken a couple of times because of the distance. But what i saw and what everone told me was this he loved Jenny with all of himself... He loved his children the same way. I loved him before I knew him because of this.
I love you Jenny
