Ned McKenzie Celebration Website

I've walked a starlit mountain road, felt the Earth turn when I'm high.

Heard a universe that's singing, 'I'm not afraid to die'.

Lay me anywhere you will and I'll still be part of you,

So don't bother with white satin, when my old blue jeans will do.

Ned fought the last battle with diabetes this morning (Monday April 20 2009) at 8:00 am. and moved on to better things. The official word is natural causes steming from diabetes. (diabetic seizure immediately followed by heart attack.) Ned dealt with diabetes for over 30 years.

 

Services were held Saturday April 25th 2009.  Ned was buried nearby at the Mount Union Cemetary at a site overlooking his farm.
