Darren and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I loved our days of working with your Dad at the hospital! He gave me grief some times but I still loved him. Praying for you all to find peace and comfort in your loss.
Remembering pleasant memories with Kenneth and Diane. From high school, throughout all the last years. He was always one of the good guys and will be missed by all.
Our love and prayers to you Diane and all the family.
When Ken started working with us at the golf course, he was one of them guys that you instantly liked and kidded around with had fun working with. All around great guy to have a beer with. He taught his boy Damon his good manners!!

Dear Diane, So sorry to hear of Kenneth’s passing. Keeping you and the family in my thoughts and prayers as you go through the coming days. Hugs Diane. Love you my friend!
Our prayers and thoughts go out to Diane and to all of the Ducote family, friends and loved ones. Kenneth will be greatly missed, as he was a person who was always upbeat and generous with his love for others. When our son, Cory, was in the hospital, for over 2 months, Kenneth was frequently there when we would arrive, offering to help in any way that he could. May GOD welcome Kenneth into His loving heart and arms and grant him salvation and an eternal life as a member of the family of GOD, in Heaven.
Diane, I am so sorry to hear about Ken. My prayers are with you and your family for comfort, peace, and grace both now and in the days ahead. Becky Sitton Blanton
