August 31st, 1963 – August 14th, 2019

Kenneth was born in Croydon, England to Malcolm, and Joycelyn.  Kenneth was the third sibling of six children.

He spent his childhood in New Addington, England loving the great outdoors. In the 1970’s, Ken came into his own with his love for skateboarding and went on to compete in tournaments.  His athleticism and natural ability allowed him to transfer these skills to swimming and surfing when he moved to Florida in 1979.

After graduating from Cocoa High School with his love of solving complex mathematical equations Ken began working for Cocoa Waste Water Management which satisfied his love of the environment and natural world.

Ken also worked as a waiter at local restaurants in and around Cocoa. Following that Ken retrained and worked in property management and as a decorator.

Ken’s creativity was overflowing.  He could play multiple instruments and come up with a tune on the spot.  His love of reading meant that he always had a book nearby and a recommendation for any reader.  Ken was a writer himself and kept his own personal journal throughout his life.  He inspired those around him to express themselves freely and live for today.

Despite being thousands of miles away, Ken never lost his connection with the UK and his delight in British music, food and Guinness!  Ken saw the beauty in the world and appreciated all of life’s idiosyncrasies.  Throughout his life, he enriched the lives of all those around him and his legacy will continue to do so even though he may no longer be with us.
