Ken Frizzell

He was a man’s man
And as gentle as a lamb
He was the life of a party
And laughed heartily
A great guy on a grill
To him, serving was a thrill
Always quick to lend an ear
Never ashamed to shed a tear

I’m honored to say Ken was my friend. Linda, we will uphold you before the throne in prayer as you grieve and learn to rejoice in your loss. Romans 5:1-11

I know you don't know me, but I knew Ken. He was my father in law for 5 years. He was the kindest, gentlest man I think I had ever met. He loved life, his children and he cherished his grandchildren. His smile was infectious and his love for life was evident. I am so sorry for your loss and will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Linda, we loved Ken very much. He always treated me with the greatest respect. Deb and I are mourning his loss. He is in a far better place. Jojo still rides the bike he gave her.

Ken, you have been the best thing that ever happened to me in my earthly life. I treasure the moments we shared. I am grateful to God that he loaned you to me for these past 11 1/2 years. You went to be with our Lord on my birthday and you said you couldn't find my card. I thought maybe you had forgotten it was my birthday, but Randy found the card in your Bible in with the bulletins. On the envelope you called me "Your Queen" as you did many times before. You treated me as if I were a queen and I thank you for that. Thank for always cheering me on to do better in life. I will always cherish the way we could laugh and cry together. You have been many things to me. I have called you my "Valium" because you could calm my fears. My hero, my best friend. I will miss you dear, and hope my wait to see you again won't be to long.
I love you.
Your Wife
