Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I am sorry to hear of Ken’s passing – I worked with him at APAC for several years. God’s peace and comfort to all of his family.

  2. My condolences to you Carol, and your family. My heart is with you surrounding you with love and light, along with fond memories of Ken, his kind heart and the goodness he brought into the world. Blessings.

  3. Dear sweet amazing Ken! We were truly blessed to live next-door to Ken and Carol after we lost everything in the hurricane and moved in with my sister, and they just could not have been kinder to us. Ken had the best sense of humor and would even kick up his heels and a little dance sometimes. At one point, Ken and I had a very meaningful serious conversation about caregiving, and I personally felt so acknowledged by him, knowing that he had been a caregiver for so long. He was simply an amazing man, a man of integrity and brilliance, and he was very humble and never met a stranger. So blessed to have known Ken and he is already very missed. I picture Ken in heaven with my father and the two of them would get along famously. God bless the Treadway family. We are praying for you. We send our deepest condolences, but also know that God welcomed him in to heaven, we are better people just having known Ken. He was that kind of very special people.
