I found out this morning that our MDK (Mike Kenley) lost his son Josh yesterday due to drowning. He was at a local lake with friends. I know the PKF
community shares the indescribable sorrow for the loss to Mike and his family.
Prayers to Mike and his family.indigo_wolf - 6-7-2013 at 09:47 AM
Speechless.
Last thing I expected to find when I pulled up PKF today.
Condolences and prayers for Mike & loved ones.
ATB,

There are no words to ease the pain of the loss of a child so I'll simply say I'm praying for you and your loved ones that you may draw more lovingly
around one another at this time of great loss and sorrow.shaggs2riches - 6-7-2013 at 03:47 PM
Sincere condolences. Extremely saddening to think of ever losing a child. 3shot - 6-7-2013 at 04:15 PM
Oh my Lord.
Likewise as others have said, no words can ease the pain you and your family must be in.
But please know this Mike,
It is not for us to understand why the Lord calls one home when he does.
You must have faith that the Shepherd always takes care of his sheep.
My deepest sympathy and prayers sent. I've never met you, but we are a family here It feels like.
To sad to even chit-chat tonight now

I think that story is like a forum post, not an official news story. MDK - 9-7-2013 at 06:04 PM
Thank you all for the kind words. I know there have been many questions as to what happened. I know the reports were strange.
Josh was at Mann Creek Reservoir with a few of his friends. One friend had a jetski. they were out on a dock in the middle of the lake playing king of
the dock and goofing off. they decided to head back over to the boat dock, josh was the first to get a ride back, he was dropped off in the swimming
area, gave his friend his life jacket for the next passenger to use and proceeded to swim in the swimming area. his friend with the jetski returned
with the last passenger, they saw Josh swimming, they proceeded to tie up the jetski and pick up a few things they left on the beach when they
realised Josh went missing, his friend with the jet ski was the first in the water to try and find him. it took 2.5 hours for rescue divers to find
him just 10 feet from the boat dock, the visibility was nill, they had to bring out a boat with sonar or radar to locate him.
I have received a lot of messages and voicemails, I want everyone to know I really appreciate all the support and prayers, they are felt. not sure I
am making much sense here, I am exhausted, I will check back later, thank you all!area429 - 10-7-2013 at 09:00 AM
I am so sorry to hear of such a tragic accident. When such a fluke occurs with little explanation it can really be hard. Stay strong! You and your
family are in our thoughts and hearts this summer.
I am so very sorry for your loss.MDK - 10-7-2013 at 06:44 PM
Bobby Muse showed up to Josh's service today, Bobby you are amazing, I know I told you this but seeing you there meant the world to me, just wow,
thank you my friend...thank youPHREERIDER - 10-7-2013 at 07:01 PM
wishing you comfort and strength . my condolences MDK - 10-7-2013 at 07:39 PM
I am pretty tired but I would like to tell just a little about Josh. he was in my eyes perfect, he had a lot of freedom because he was such a good
kid. 4.0 GPA, Jr. Honor Society, was just ordained to the priest quorum in our church, Selected to perform in the Chambers Singers, Middle School and
High School musicals and the list goes on. here is a Beautiful Tribute Josh that a new freind of mine put together for us, my favorite part is the
Chambers Singers Choir at the end, Josh is featured in that choir at min.17.36 http://youtu.be/xN_bt3aQilo
thank you all again for your support, it is being felt, thank you3shot - 10-7-2013 at 08:03 PM
That is a wonderful video tribute!thanson2001ok - 10-7-2013 at 09:09 PM
Moving. Thanks for sharing.
Man, I am going to hug my kids more this week.BeamerBob - 11-7-2013 at 07:04 AM
Mike, sometimes events and friends are worthy of pulling out the stops and doing what it takes to be there for a friend. It only took an hour or so
to realize I needed to be there to support you and Christi in this. I spoke to several others that felt the same way but the distances were too great
for them to be able to make it.
My thoughts and prayers are still with you and your family. bigkid - 11-7-2013 at 07:06 PM
Still not able to respond with anything but a ton of emotion. I hope this event brings you and your family closer together Mike. All I can say is
"Without words, a simple hug speaks loud enough to quiet the world".
I wish a hug for all of you.soliver - 12-7-2013 at 10:33 AM
Seconds on the hug to you Mike...
Ashli & I have been in prayer for you all.Kober - 12-7-2013 at 10:40 PM
