With broken hearts we say goodbye to a loving and gentle soul, Kenneth William Durfey.

Kenny loved to trout, the outdoors, playing his guitar, watching movies and most of all, spending time with his family and friends. Christmas was his favourite time of year. His love for the holidays revolved around his daughter Nora. The countdown for the next year would begin as soon as gifts had been opened.

Brother, son, husband, father and true friend. He surrounded himself with the ones he loved most. It was the simple things that made him the happiest. Wrestling with his daughter or watching a movie with his family. We hold on to the moments we spent just being together making memories that will last a lifetime.

Our lives are forever changed by the loss of this wonderful man but we have been blessed by the short time that we did have him with us. He will be forever missed.
