I read some of the stories about him. I heard that a bunch of folks bought his Jeep and had it super modded and auctioned it off to raise money for his kid's college education.

Yes, Wayalife bought it and they turned it into Vengeance. From what I understand he bought it...they built it and the money went back to the family. Very cool. On a sad note, his wife had just passed away a few months back. Very sad.

It is extremely sad, I can't imagine what their daughter has gone through losing both parents at such a young age. I miss Ken and April too, we communicated on the forum quite a bit because our Jeeps were built to similar levels, and our kids were about the same age. The one time we got to hang out at a wheeling event Jeep Mama and I instantly hit it off with them and considered them friends. It makes me realize how blessed I am.

Yeah I just caught that the other day when I was checking out the FB page she setup for Ken. Sad indeed. Kids must have been devastated. Godspeed to their family.

That is very sad to hear April passed away. Losing Ken was bad enough. He is and always will be an inspiration to many.
