Wade T. and Nancy H. Snider says
We were saddened to learn of Kenneth’s death. Kenneth was a valued member of the Denton High School Class of 1958, and was faithful to attend our Class Reunions. Kenneth’s death marks the fifteenth class member death, out of forty-eight class members. Even though we all must go through the death experience, we are never really prepared for it, and this is where our faith in Jesus Christ comes in. He will carry us through the grief and sorrow experience, and cause us to “walk on water”. Please know that your entire family is in our prayers today, as well as in the coming days.
