I wish to express my condolences to the family during this dufficult time. Death is an enemy not our friend, for man, this was not God's plan. 1Corinthians 15:26: " And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." What a joy it will be to have life without end! Until then may you continue draw peace from Jehovah, the God of all comfort.

Just wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciated Ken Huckaby. First for being a good husband and care giver to my mother. Second, for being a wonderful step dad to me and my brother and sister. Third, for making us all laugh a lot. Fourth, for his generosity to everyone he knew. Everyone that knew Huck, has a story to tell . I will miss him so much. I will miss the unfinished phone calls from him when he told me what he wanted, he would say "I'll keep in touch" and then I would hear the click even though I was in mid sentence. We will be in touch again in a far better place and Huck will be able to hear every word.

Huck was a wonderful man. A great husband to my mother and a great step-dad to me and my brother and sister. We loved him and will miss him so much. He was one of a kind! See you soon, Huck. I hear there's great fishing in Heaven.
