Sorry for your lost.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and family. Love Gloria, Frank, Cheryl and Alecia Latocha
Ken was a wonderful person when I knew him from Enka High School. I am sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers go with you during this time.
I met Ken through my father Mr. McElrath. He was a very dear friend and confidant. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and especially Ruth his mother who is a precious person and loved Ken dearly.
Dear Greene family, our love and prayers reach out to you in this time of deep sorrow. Ken was very special to our family as well as to our church family. He claimed us as his spiritual parents, which we felt was quite an honor. We enjoyed having him stay in our home when he came to hold special services for us. Our people totally accepted his ministry to them, holding him in high regard. We thank God for bringing him into our life and the many happy memories we have. We will miss him terribly, as we know you will, but we take comfort in the promise of God of a great reunion of our loved ones in a future time. May God keep you in His care.
Ken was my first true love. We knew each other in high school. I haven’t seen him in years but I have followed his ministries through the Internet. I remember many years ago when I needed his blessings and he was there for me. He stopped by my Mother’s house not too many years ago when he was in the neighborhood just to check on her. He prayed with her before he left. My thoughts and prayers are with his Mother Ruth and brother Mike. Please find peace in knowing that he is with his Lord and Savior now and is at peace.
Ken had been to our church Agape Family Church, Trenton, N.C. and I always received rich blessings when I would hear his sermons. He was a true man of God. He had been to our church not so many months ago and I saw a man that truly loved the Lord and knew his renewing power. Ken will be dearly missed but I know he is with our Lord and Savior and I will see him one day along with all my other family members. Blessings to his children, wife, mother and all the other members of his family. God is great.
Ken will be missed by all.

To all of Brother Ken Greenes family, We received many blessings when Brother Ken came to our church, Agape Family Church in Trenton, NC. He was a wonderful and powerful man of God. He touched our lives through his ministry and it was a true blessing to all of our
members at our church. We will miss him dearly but we have peace in our hearts knowing he is with our father rejoicing in heaven and singing his praises. We will never forget Brother Ken and we look forward to seeing him again in Glory. To the family we know your hearts are heavy but remember Ken will always be with you and love you and you will have a great reunion someday soon. Our prayers are with you and may Gods love embrace you.

I am so sorry to hear this remember me nancy peebles.Hello to all of u i really loved Ken n Mike.
Brenda;
I am so sorry. I just ran across this. Ken came to our church in the late 80’s in Pratt, KS. He preached with so many signs following. (children’s teeth straightened as we watched. Dyslexia fixed, and so many other’s , I cannot enumerate them.) I got to know him, and he came through and visited with me, a few months later. He spoke so lovingly of you. I lost track. I am devastated, remembering him as he was. I still have the ‘angel’ tape of the heavenly host singing ‘Hallelujah’. God Bless you.
Dear Brother Ken Greene
