Kenny, my one regret is that we didn't have time to sit down and get to know each other on a personal level. I've met both of your sons, and they are wonderful people to me. I know that Jennifer is saddened by this, and I share her grief every day. Though this isn't truly goodbye, I am disheartened to know your face will not be among the faces at Jennifer and my's wedding. God Bless and rest well. -Jennifer's Fiance, Josh.

You know Kenny, when I first met you,I asked Renee', do you know what your doing? But when I really got to know you, it was all okay.
You did things for Renee', I don't think many husbands would do. You took real good care of her. I remember the times I would go to your house and wrap Christmas presents because she couldn't do it. I remember my 50 th wedding anniversty Renee' danced to " Who let the dogs out", and you laughed so hard. We all had good times together. So old friend, until we meet again, farwell.
Your sister-in-law, Carole

Kenny, I am so sorry I can't be there to say good-bye to you Thursday. And I'm even sorrier that you're gone. You were a kind and gentle man who never had an unkind word for anyone; and you were the best thing that ever happened to my Aunt Reneé. The world is a much emptier place now without the both of you. Some memories that I'll always cherish, are you and Aunt Reneé's wedding (with Jordan at age 1 as the ring bearer :) and going to your house to play pictionary. But what I will remember and miss most is your presence in this world...But grief can be softened by knowing that you're in Heaven, you're not in pain, your with Aunt Reneé again and you're happy. We will see each other again someday, until then, give Aunt Reneé a hug and kiss for me and know that you were loved. love always, Jennifer

Kenny I am so glad to have met you and being a great husband to Renee'. I will miss you calling me and seeing how I'm doing and to see how Jr is doing. Tony and Jr will miss watching NASCAR with you,especially in February to watch the Daytona 500. I also remember the get together we had it was during the winter I believe in February a little while back and we was in the garage talking and Tony was doing something and you snuck-up behind him and pulled his pants down and Tony and everyone else including your-self was laughing our tails off. those are the things that I will always remember and cherish..... I love you and will miss you. In rememberance of our beloved cousin Kenny Larson. Nonna Ortiz,Jr.

Kenny, I will miss your numberious phone calls to me everyday. We grew to love you so much, and the way you loved Renee' and took such good care of her. You had such a kind spirit, and did so many things for people, including me, and never asking for nothing in return. I'll miss meeting you at Renee's grave to eat a cup cake on her birthday every year, but at the same time, I'm so happy can you can personaly eat one with her in heaven.
Someday when I get to heaven, you'd better have some liver and onions or a hot roast beef sandwich waiting for me. I'm glad you got to get to know Sara, and the way you loved Brandon and Craig, but also the way you loved Jordan and Morgan, they will miss their Uncle Kenny.I'm so happy you knew Jesus as your savour, and that God gave me the chance to talk to you before Brandon and I found you that morning, when God took you home. I love you and will miss you, and I'm so happy your with Renee again, because it was so hard on you, missing her the way you did. Thank you for being you.
You sister -in - law, Denise

Good-bye for now cousin Kenny you were a good person to me and especially to Renee'. I remember the time we went to pick up the u-haul trailer. Then Rick and I hooked it up and we took off. You drove from Indianola and turned onto evergreen and you looked into the rear-view mirror and you said "what the hell happened to the trailer?" and I looked to the right and said "it's right there!" rolling right beside us. Then it veered off to the right and went up into these people's yard and hit that big tree in the front yard and it put a big ole' dent in it and then it rolled back into the street and we got out and tried to pick it up and we could'nt because we was laughing like crazy then finally we got it back on and you hitched it the right way. Then you said we better be glad we did'nt have Renee's breakable things because we are'nt going home we'll just have to keep on goin. we'll meet again some-day. Love You, Tony Rodriquez Ortiz "Pedro"
