I have so many good memories of Kenneth and all the Cravens bunch. Will always remember him as Santa Clause at Pioneer Memorial Christmas program. Still have a picture of him as santa with my youngest, now 30 yrs old on his lap when he was little. He will be missed so much.

I can remember when I was little Kenneth would carry me out to see the horses and cows. It would be super hot and he would still do it with a smile. He did the same for my kids as well. One of the nicest guys I have ever been around. He will be truly missed.

Dear Cravens Family:
Such sad news to hear. I was going through some old pictures a couple of weeks ago and found a picture inside the church of Kenneth dressed as Santa and holding Logan as a baby. That picture will be cherished, I assure you. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, Kenneth doesn't need them anymore!!
Love, Mickey(Parker) & Rob Oates
