    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 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.

  11. Karen and Ken,

    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.

    I’m really glad you were his friend.
