Our family has never felt as welcome as we were at the 8am masses at SVDP. We thank you for the love you showed, especially for our children, Francis and Marygrace, and all the young Catholics in the parish. Your warmth and loving kindness will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, The Lallys

Moving to SF area 10 years ago, the first time I stepped into SVDP and heard you do a mass, I felt at home.  In my 10 years here, I have yet to find a priest do mass that makes me feel the way I did when you did mass.  Your sudden passing away still makes me sad.  I have zero doubt you are enjoying your time in heaven and am eternally grateful for the years I had the chance to connect with you at SVDP.  While I always hoped you'd be the priest to do my future wedding (fingers crossed), if I ever do get married, know that I will be thinking of you.  God bless you and your whole family.

Father Ken,
You have touched so many lives in your gentle, but strong way. Years ago, several of us Daughters of Charity would trek from various parts of the City to attend your Masses at Sacred Heart Church. Then many years later, I was assigned to Epiphany Center, but live in St. Vincent de Paul Parish, and you made our program for women in recovery and their young children a Charity of the parish, and you came yourself to drop things off. You were a brother to us Daughters and we will always be grateful for you in our lives. I went to your viewing just so I could tell your Mom how wonderful and special you were to us and to support her in her loss of you. Please pray for us, Father.
Sister Betty Marie Dunkel, D.C.

Thank you for your dedicated ministry to SVDP.  You were a guiding light to our children and the school.  I will miss your homilies, smile, and example of God's love.

Father Ken - my wife Monica & I are forever grateful as you married us on 11/10/18 at Saints Peter & Paul Church. Your positive energy served as a calming force for us both, on rehearsal day as well as the wedding. You had a genuine ability to connect with people, which appealed to us as we listened to your beautiful homilies over the years. We’ll miss your humor, sincerity, and compassion - which are deeply needed in a time like this. Sending our love to the entire Westray family & friends. You have a large group of people who will miss you dearly. Rest In Peace.

Father Ken

We will miss you!

You baptized both of our boys.  Years later  they got to see you at SVDP. They will always have those memories.  You will always have a special place in our family’s heart. Thank you for all you gave to the church and school. May God bless you.

Sincerely,

The Fitzgerald Family

Your cheerful and calming presence was always a comfort.  We are grateful for your guidance and stewardship throughout the years.  We remember meeting you the first time at the Parish Picnic at Crissy Field in 2011.  We were just coming into kindergarten then and we had a sense that all would be well.  Alas your tenure was all too short.  Rest in Peace.

Peter, Bailey (SVDP ‘18), Logan (SVDP ’20) and I (Lori) send our sincere condolences to your beautiful family and take great solace that Father Ken’s beloved soul now rests in peace.  And while his passing is so difficult to bear right now, we try to remember that death is only the end of the physical life and the beginning of a glorious eternal life.

While words can be superfluous in times of immeasurable loss, we find strength knowing that he loved so genuinely and so fiercely - and - in return was loved so genuinely and so fiercely back.

Father Ken was funny, loving, brilliant and always filled with joy and worship for his church, community, parishioners, school and kids. His beaming smile, booming voice and endless enthusiasm will never be forgotten.  Nor will we ever forget the lengths he went to, to ensure our 8th graders this year had the most spectacular graduation experience despite the pandemic.

The measure of a life well-lived is not in how long it is, nor how much one accomplishes or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they have touched and the lessons they leave behind.  There is no doubt that he made an indelible impact that will be cherished forever.

May you take comfort in the fact that he was always surrounded by people that loved and treasured him so very much.  We are sending healing prayers and are so deeply sorry for your (and our) loss.  Father Ken was simply the best. xx

Fr Ken,
We're saddened to hear the news of your passing. You were taken far too fast from this world. We're eternally grateful for your smile, help with the kids at SVDP and most of all the way you made us laugh, made us think, made us pray in St Vincent De Paul parish. You will not be forgotten. May you rest in peace.

We love you, Fr. Ken!
