The following is a copy of my Facebook post from Sept 17/24 —
My heart breaks at the passing of my first cousin, Ken. Our farms were very close by and we were only 4 months apart in age and spent a lot of time together over our growing up years… from Sunday meals at each others homes, to larger family gatherings (always playing games after a meal), attending church/youth, to attending the same schools and riding the school bus together. I will remember running around Springside and playing “Anti-I-Over” at Grpa & Grma Gabert’s house, playing Clue and foosball at Ken’s house, the always crazy fun of Christmas gift exchange games, and that Ken was always such a whiz at math and therefore we made him keep score during board games. Ken loved sports including watching them on TV and always had incredible knowledge of all the stats. I know I will miss mentioning something and memories will keep coming to my mind as the days go by. — It had been way too long since I had seen you, Ken. I loved and missed you, and even though you are no longer suffering, you are gone way too soon. You will be missed by SO many. My heart and sympathies go out to Louise, Aunt Gerri, Brad & Amanda & their family, Rhonda & Bruce & their family and all other family and friends who are grieving this loss.
Until we meet again, Ken… I love you.
