RIP Ken @ Target Sports > Michigan

Posted: 3/19/2012 6:23:18 PM EDT

I heard from one of Ken's CCW class students today that Ken has passed away. Suicide.

Ken was a nice guy, always jovial and polite, and worked at Target Sports for many years. He will be missed.

That is really too bad. Ken was a great guy whenever I dealt with him. He treated me with respect and did not pretend to know what he didn't know.

yea he was a talker, he had the tattoos on his fore arms, shorter grey hair, not the other 2 older guys with a ponytail or the other shaggy haired guy, like one of the only people i could stand talking to aside from Hebba.

wow. He was the best guy there. great guy. Never said "no you cannot handle that gun, again." He would just pull it out and let you handle it over and over again.

Nuts that sucks... He was a super nice guy to me. I had plenty of conversations with him over the years, he was always really decent.

sorry to here this. He was the nicest salesman there. Very down to earth. Sold me a Glock 34 last year. RIP

Small update... a guy I know asked at the shop. They said Ken had been diagnosed with cancer, and decided to end it quickly rather than suffer through treatment.

It's not for me to judge, but it is sad he wasn't up to giving it a fight.

What's a shame.
RIP Ken.
He was always very helpful and never pushy.

Just saw him a couple months back in their Keego store.

Kenny was a real good guy and he will be missed.

He had a fantastic working knowledge of handguns and was a pleasure to work with, He was well respected and well liked.

And always had a great attitude "No Worries"
