Wow so many memories growing up. I am the youngest of the cousins on the Thornton side so I was the one that got picked on but I loved it. Ken was so nice but yet had a sneaky side (which was easy when your brother is Kent) and even tho they picked on me they always included me in things even when I was 8 years younger. Sundays was always special as we would all gather at grandma's house in Liberal. So may great memories growing up. Rest in pease cousin.
Ken and I worked together at the Pittsburg Fire Department.
Ken is one of my favorite people I’ve ever met.
His sense of humor still has me laughing.
So sorry for your loss. God bless.

I had the privilege of working with Ken at the Pittsburg Police Dept when was assigned to the EMS Division.
Ken was not only a great professional EMT he was a fun person to work with and his ability to bring our midnight shift together during some hectic calls he was always there to help others and never stopped caring for anyone he met! Rest in peace Ken you will be missed. John Warren Capt Midnight.
