I went to school with Arden from first to twelfth. We were great friends. I remember visiting him when he had rheumatic fever. I climbed in bed with him and played with his toys.

Arden as his classmates at Clay County High knew him was always the smartest one in our class. We are so sorry to hear about his passing. You will be thought of and remembered in our prayers. The 1966 Class of Clay County High School
I worked with Ken for several years at S&B. He was the most knowledgeable and helpful rotating equipment engineer I've ever known. I had to lead a group at a chemical plant one time and show them around a large compressor. Everyone had all kinds of questions for me except Ken - he was finding all the answers on his own (I surely couldn't have taught him anything new!) He was a kid in a candy store that day. His legacy will live on through the engineers who learned from him, including me. My condolences to Ken's family and friends.
I worked with Ken at S&B for many years. Our offices were next to each other and we spent many an afternoon discussing "work issue" while cracking and eating roasted peanuts.
Ken was proud of of his family and especially Ashley. He was always showing his latest picture of her.
Likewise, his love of Mopar was unquestionable.!
He had called me just at the beginning of February and we had caught up on the latest news.
I will always remember him as a smiling , happy person and will miss talking to him.

Out deepest sympathy to the Ward family. His memory will live on in our hearts forever.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carol and the family. God bless you all.
Carol- We were so sorry to hear about this news. I posted a note for you on Legacy.com also but wanted to be sure you saw our message, so I'm posting it here too. Sending our deepest condolences to you and your family from Brett and me. From working at Hermann with you several decades ago to seeing you two at the S& B Christmas parties and then at our Pearland Church, we feel like we have known you guys for a long time, even though we did not see you often. I just saw you guys from a distance in a Pearland store recently too. I wish I would have said hello. We pray for comfort and peace for you and your whole family during this difficult time for you.
The Ward family has always been friendly and caring. Ken came to our home to help my husband make it through prostate cancer. He was so good to be there for both of us. He will certainly be missed by many of us. Prayers for the family.
