To the Kenworthy and GMX family,
We are saddened with the new of the death of Tripp. He was a very good man and will truly be missed by many. Our deepest sympathy and condolences are being sent. You all are in our thoughts and prayers for peace at this difficult time.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We always want to ask the question “why?” Do we have an answer? No. Do we continue to keep our faith and try to understand that God has a plan for all of us? Yes we do. For some reason God choose Tripp and he is now walking hand in hand with those loved ones that have gone before him. Tripp was a miracle at birth and was not expect to live, but he did. God planned for him to have his 31 years to give and receive love and be blessed with 3 beautiful children. His memory and spirit will carry on with all of those that he has touched.
I am so sorry to hear of Tripps passing. I have so many wonderful memories of Tripp and Matt playing golf together and hanging out at our house. My sincere condolences to all who loved him and shared his life.
We were shocked and so very saddened to learn of Tripp’s passing. Although it has been years since we’ve seen him, Tripp will always be the Most Precious and Tenderhearted young man in our memories. Our fervent prayers to the God of all Comfort continue for his family and we send our Love, as well.
Our prayers are with all of Tripp’s family. We will always remember the cute little boy wearing a baseball cap everywhere! He was so gentle and sweet! He will be missed. You are a strong family of faith and God will make you strong for each day that follows. Tripp has left a beautiful legacy in his precious wife, Kate and three precious children. We are grateful for the time God lent Tripp to those of us in the family. God bless all of you.
Tripp was a wonderful person to work with and his smiling face will be missed. My condolences to everyone for the this sudden and tragic loss. We will never know what God’s plans are for taking him at such a young age but he was a blessing while here was here. I am keeping you all in my prayers.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Kenworthy family! As a close friend of Tripp’s sister, Lauren, I was deeply saddened by this news. I hope that God watches over this family closely and is with them during these trying times. There truly is another angel in heaven watching over them!
I am sorry to hear about Tripp. I have fond memories of Tripp attending St. Mary School in Edmond. I often think of your family, and I am praying for you.
I just received word of Tripp tonight. I was so saddened to hear of this. He was probably one the most polite young men that my son Jason knew. He will always have a very special place in my heart. I have so many fond memories of him. Ken and Karen you both will be my prayers tonight. My deepest sympathy goes out to all the Kenworthy family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I had no idea. I was trying to get ahold of you, Karen. Jeff died on November the 4th, 2016.
We were married almost 25 years. If it hadn’t been for you and Laura, I wouldn’t have met Jeffco. Ironically, Matthews Funeral took care of the services, ect. Laura and I had a falling out. She didn’t go to the service but sent Valerie Walker.
If you would like, I can send you a copy of the CD. Jeff talked about you often and the fond memories he had of you.
