I am so sorry for your loss . I know words won’t help heal your heart and your families but he was a good kid , friend , and will forever be remembered. I will never forget about him he was just so special and it really hurts me every time I go in my car I look around to see if he is out with his dog but he isn’t there anymore ..He would always say hi to me and stop by my apartment and chill with my toddlers and me . He would also have my back and would ask about my sick husband to see how he is doing with his chemo and It really hurts and I can imagine his moms pain and mostly because they took her Kenny away . But those who took him away will get there Karma and I hope god gives mom and family all the strength they need . Rest In Peace Kenneth

I am so sorry about your son's horrible senseless death. He looks like such a sweet young man.

I wish there were words that could heal your broken hearts.

May you feel the love and care of many near and those of us you don't know.

May God bless you

For the young man who stole my heart. We met in a time the world was full of hate an anger. Your smile and laughter made so much negative disappear. My son loved hearing you laugh, the jokes and crazy things he would share just to get your giggle and big smile. Your heart was so big, and so forgiving to others. You was the one to change us all. You taught us so much in the 4 years we knew you, things that we will hold onto for always. We want to thank your momma for sharing you with us, we was truly blessed to see you everyday and to get that amazing hug you loved to give. You were such a big influence to all of us, and I mean ALL of us. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. Words can't explain how lost we feel right now. Fly high my little Hercules xoxo

My heart aches for your great loss of your Son.

I can clearly see from the pictures that you have chose to share with all of us, that your son was a very sweet kind young man and truly one of a kind.

My most sincerest condolences too all of this young man’s family and friends.

I feel compelled to reach out to your family and give my Heart Felt Sympathy. I am deeply saddened wishing I could help in someway. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Though gone psychically, Kenneth Jerome will continue to be with your family in Spirit. I do believe "Families are Forever"

Sending hugs
