My condolences go out to all, especially to Ken's family.
We are fragile and resilient... sometimes life takes the best from us. In the end, all we have is hope.
I understand the grief this family is going through. I hope Ken's loved one's find comfort remembering the good moments and through his writings he touched many hearts. He reminded us that life is fragile and to live life being a good person, even when confronted with adversity.
Take care and peace be with you.

I have follow this blog for a long time with hope that the outcome would be different. I feel for his wife and family for the long road of recovery an some sense of finality to this long trip life has gave them. I went through the same thing in 07 losing my wife suddenly . I am not sure what is easier the quick or long haul death to deal with but what I do know in was a nightmare for me . Almost 5 yrs later I am still recovering so I know you will have hurdles to climb . With tears in my eyes I wish all the best and celebrate his life in what god gave you while he was here on this earth. The one thing I never had was a chance to say good bye. I am glad you had your time together and had that chance. May your morning be short and heart felt and you can move on in do time. My heart goes out to you.

Ken,
You were an inspiration to more people than you will ever know. It's amazing how one man can touch so many, most of whom you didn't even know. May your drive and determination continue to inspire others who read your story, and may your family find peace that you are now at rest and no longer in pain.

If you're watching and reading from up there, Ken, thank you.
You gave me strength when I had none. You picked me up when I had fallen.
Godspeed, brother.
When I was fighting my cancer, the doctor gave me updates with statistics, odds, and percentages. He said one day, "you crossed a hurdle; I know that you don't feel like it, but your odds just increased 3%!"
I was weak, felt like puking, held his shoulders and said, "stop telling me the odds. Just tell me when I either won or lost."
Ken was there all through my fight. His wisdom led me. Gave me the strength to fight. To live.
To want to live.
To get to a point where the doctor said, "...for now, there's no evidence of cancer..."
As my wife put it, "some are lucky."
We were all lucky to have him in our lives.
