I’m sorry for your loss brother will be praying for you and your family. May God comfort you and your family in yalls time of sorrow.
Brad and I have known you, Ken, and Louise for 25+ years and Louise is the best friend I’ve ever had. You were so loved by those you touched, helped, worked for, and taught in Sunday School! Most of all your amazing wife and wonderful sons loved you more than anything else-except their God. But by raising Christian boys and teaching them a great work ethic they are successful and happy men now! We are so sorry to see you go, but so happy to know you are in Heaven with Jesus and we’ll all be together again! So not good-bye, just see you later!
We are so truly sorry for your loss. We are thinking of you and your family and you are in our prayers. Much love.
Our hearts are so saddened by the news. Please know you’re all in our prayers. We’ve loved you all for over 23 years and share many fond memories with the boys. Blessed are we that he’s with our Lord and Savior. We love you all….
Our prayers are with you and your family at this time. Kenny was always friendly and kind to my family. He will be missed. You are all in our prayers.
My prayers are with you during this most difficult time. My aunt always said, “Better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.” Though it is a big adjustment, I know your faith in Jesus will be your strength in the days ahead and your confidence in Christ to be with you will carry you. I thank God for your lives and the many people that have been blessed through you both. I believe that even through the most difficult days we face, Jesus carries us on His eagle wings. Hebrews 13:5 b tells us “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ ” His covenant of Love remains, no matter what. Sending loving prayers to you my dear and your children, along with the rest of the LaChance family. God give you His presence..
It was a pleasure working with Ken over the years. Our great Lord has another angel to watch over us all. He will be missed. Prayers to the family from my heart to yours.
So sorry for your loss. Ken was a great guy and Convergint will miss him terribly.
My sweet Louise
We are both so very sorry about Ken. He was such a wonderful man and the love you two had was beautiful. I am glad we have good memories of the times we spent together. Please keep all your love and time together and you have years of memories. Smile and remember those times with peace in your heart that the Good Lord is watching over him while Ken is watching over you. If we could only take that hurt away from you. The God Lord has plans for all of us. Love you. Gods Speed.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ken for over 15 years and a kinder more spiritual man would be hard to find. My deepest condolences to his wife and children and his extended family.

“The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.”
Isaiah 57:1-2
I am so sorry for your loss. Ken was a REAL man who lived life the way one should with love , strength, kindness and honesty with all that he came in contact with. I will miss him tremendously!
It was with great sadness that I learned of Ken’s passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. He was an exceptional person. They are so many in the Convergint community that will deeply mourn his passing.
Our hearts hurt for you and your family. We are so very sorry for your loss and will praying the Lord comforts you as only He can. Asking the Lord to hold you close.
God Bless Ken, Heaven just gained another Angel. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to have spend important moments with Ken and Louise. Much love from us to you and immediate family and your close loving friends. We love you. Marcelle, Eric, Chantal.
Ken was a a wonderful man and Dick Ackerman and I had the chance to work with him on special details while we were on staff at First Baptist Snellville. They don’t come any better than this. Louise, my heart is with you and your family and we lift you up and love you.
Absent from the body, present with the Spirit. (1 Co 5:3). Kenny has entered Everlasting Life, (Jn 14:3) How beautiful is that. Louise, you continue to keep strong in the Lord, Going about His business and in time you to will enter into Everlasting Life too. You WILL see Kenny again. He is waiting for you in the place that God has prepared for you. And we celebrate with you. We love you, and continue in prayer for you and the boys.
Louise, Kris and Greg, Words seem so insufficient to convey our deepest sympathy. Ken was a loving husband and caring father, wanting only the BEST for his family. This is the same care he extended to his work family. I have had the privilege to work with Ken at Convergint. Ken’s rarity was not only his intelligence and insight but his Wisdom. Truly Wisdom is a GOD given Gift and it is bestowed on a rare few whose Belief is strong and walk of Faith enduring. My GOD Bless and keep your family.
Louise, Kris and Greg… Your Husband and Dad was a great man. I know that he knew the Lord and the Lord knows him. I am very blessed to have worked with Ken and to have known him in this life. I look forward to seeing him again in spirit.
Our prayers are with you and may God help you all as you persevere through this time.
Louise, Greg, and Kris – We’re so sorry for your loss. I pray His healing touch will be a balm to your hurting hearts. Losing those we love always takes a piece of our hearts with them but what a blessing to know the hope we have in the Lord that we will see him again. I’ve been blessed to have known Ken and prayed for so many of his family, friends, and coworkers for so many needs since we started meeting Wednesday mornings in 2001. He’ll be missed by many of us but we know where he is and who he’s with and look forward to being there ourselves. God bless ya’ll and we’ll be praying for your peace and healing.
My regret is that I didn’t get to know Kenneth in this life even though I have known his brother Larry for my whole life. Well wishes to the family and a prayer for peace to Louise, Greg and Kristopher in their time of great loss. My contributions will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
To the LaChance family, Ken will be GREATLY missed. His contribution to the Security Industry (ASIS) will always be remembered. It was a honor to have served with Ken on the ASIS Atlanta Chapter Board for 5yrs as well as the previous 17yrs as a member of the chapter. Knowing that Ken was a Man of Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, I say as the Apostle Paul said 2 Corinthians 5:8 “we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and be present with the Lord”. May Gods Love, Grace and Peace be with you. Amen
Doug and I are so sorry for your family’s loss. In watching the video it was good to see the happy and fulfilling life Ken had. He achieved so much and got to live so many of his dreams. He will always be with you in your hearts and through the many memories you all share. May God bless you all.
I am at a loss for words Louise. From the way you spoke of Ken we know what a loving marriage you had and how the good Lord played a vital roll. It is hard to understand why He calls the good ones home so soon. May you take some comfort in knowing so many friends and family are keeping you and your boys in their hearts, thoughts and prayers. God speed Ken.
My heart goes to you and family in this time of sorrow. Ken was part of my life for many months and I am blessed to have known Ken. He was such a Special man. I know you know there are THOUSANDS morning his loss. God bless you.
Our deepest and heartfelt sympathies and condolences. I met Ken at Michael and Marcelle’s wedding last year as I am sister to the bride. I have to say with that great magnetic big smile and charm, he made everyone feel special. I am sure such a man is resting smugly in His Everlasting arms. Peace be with you, wife and family, please remember all the good times and celebrate the life of this wonderful husband, father and brother. Marj Spence
Joni and I want to offer our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the entire Lachance family on the loss of Ken. Although we haven’t seen him in quite a while, we have very fond memories of him and his brothers and sisters when our families would get together either at my parent’s home in East Hartford or in the home he grew up in in Enfield, CT. Please know that your family will be in our thoughts and our prayers.
Larry and Sandy, please accept my condolences for the loss of your brother Ken. May he rest in peace. May God give strength to those he left behind.
Kris and Catherine, So sorry for your loss. May God’s comfort be yours, now and in the days ahead.
I worked with Ken at Siemens and enjoyed his vibrant energy, enthusiasm, and passion he applied to his work and his interactions with us all. I considered him a friend and will miss him. God speed.
Our deepest heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to you from the Orlando Florida CTC. As I write this I am getting all choked up and teary eyed. The Florida CTC’s met Ken in Tampa Florida when Qualified Systems was acquired by Convergint Technologies. Ken when he spoke, you automatically heard passion for family, company and life, he had such great charisma. He was a true leader and motivator.
May the Lord give you peace and strength
Louise and family, please accept my sincere sympathy and prayers. Louise, I remember you from Beaver St. many years ago. I am so sorry for your loss.

Louise and Family, So sorry to hear the news about Ken. Our prayers are with you all.
