It is with sincere sympathy that I send the many friends and family members of Kenny Roen sincere sympathy. I had the privilege of getting to know Kenny through the annual Loggers Competition. He would show up willing to help wherever needed but most importantly he always brought humour to the day. He was a jokester a man who cared about others, was a hard worker and he had a love for life. He will leave an empty spot in the hearts of many. May all that knew him, tip a beer or a drink in his name and Kenny’s biggest wish would be that he could be here enjoying that drink with you!

I’ve learned all about life from a snowman…
It’s okay if you’re a little bottom heavy. Hold your ground, even when the heat is on. Wearing white is always appropriate. It takes a few extra rolls to make a good midsection. The key to life is to be a jolly, happy soul. We’re all made up of mostly water. You know you’ve made it when they write a song about you. Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize! Don’t get too much sun. It’s fun to hang out in your front yard. There’s no stopping once you’re on a roll…
