Dear June, Bryce, Cason and Callie- like a lot of people I wish I could spend more time with Ken. Especially when I remember his warm and friendly way–his eclectic interests and his courage in business. He continues to touch my life to this day. I pray God comforts and guides each of you as you find your signature song, your charming talent. You have DNA working for you too so my expectations are kinda high.
Ken and I worked together many years ago. We had a great friendship and he was a source of inspiration and a good friend. Our paths haven’t crossed for many years and I went looking for him to have the opportunity to re-establish a working relationship. I am both shocked and saddened to hear of ken’s passing, this is one of the saddest things to have happened. Such a wonderful, honest man with a wonderful friendly personality and would do anything to assist. To his family I send my heartfelt condolensces from the UK and i am grateful to have had the opportunity to have worked with such a kind and warm man. Ken will be missed by all who knew him.
Dad, I miss you so much it hurts. I feel this huge gaping hole in my chest and it feels like its going to close my throat. I still think about you every day and I would do anything to see you one last time. I love you so much. You have no clue how much you meant to me dad, you were my idol! I strived so hard to be like you and I still do to this day. im at LSU dad! I wish you could see me now, but not near as much as I wish I could see you. You are my world dad and it hurts to know that I will never see you again… I used to call your cell phone just to hear your voice… someone else has your number now… Oh my god I love you so much dad.
Dear June: Rich and I send our deepest and most sincere condolences. We are very, very sorry for your loss. Ken was a very sweet and kind man. We had no idea what your family was going through. I just learned of his passing only yesterday or Rich and I would have attended his service. I will keep your family in prayers. sincerely Karen & Rich Maggi
June,
From my family to yours, our condolences are with you during this difficult time.

It was sad to hear of ken’s passing .. I meet ken back a few years ago and had the pleasure to maintain his plumbing at his Pearland home .. He was such a wonderful man and always had a positive attitude and was willing to lend a helping hand. I’ll never forget how he showed me how his wiener dog could dive under water for a tennis ball and surface to this day that has stuck with me when I think of ken.. . He was a intelligent person and gave me insightful tips and had a different look on life … I know ken is in a better place guiding his family .. My condolences go out to the family and friends .. Ken we will miss you !!!! Until we cross paths again .
Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts.
June and Family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. It was a great privilege knowing Ken all these years. He was a wonderful man, friend, father, and husband. Robin is so pleased he could visit with you and him at Carol’s 50th birthday celebration. Take care,
Robin and Dara
Oh how saddened I was to hear this news. Though I haven’t seen or spoken to Ken for many years, I remember our times together like they were yesterday. I was so happy to read that Ken had enjoyed living in Lebanon, Illinois so much because all of us from Lebanon sincerely enjoyed having his family with us! My sympathy to his family, his wife, and children – I pray that you can always remember the wonderful times you had with Ken and move forward with your lives just as he would have wanted you to.
God Bless All of You!
To the extended family of Ken Reeder,
I remember Ken’s wit and outgoing personality with a nostalgic fondness associated with the Wonder Bread years we shared in Lebanon. All of the Reeders were strong and lively presences, and I send my best wishes, in particular, to Roxanne and Larry who, like Ken, helped to make high school fun and memorable. Ken was a very charming guy. Mitch
