Dear Mr. Herbert,
Words fail me as I try to express the profound emptiness we feel from your departure. Your kindness and unwavering support have meant the world to us, especially to my mother. Because of you, she found the courage and ability to learn English, which opened up new opportunities for her to support me and my sisters.
Your dedication to helping families in South City, providing them with food and resources, has truly transformed our community. You have always been a beacon of hope and generosity, and your impact on our lives is immeasurable.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done. Though we may be parting for now, I believe we will see each other again someday.
With all my appreciation and love,
Eloísa, Natjelli, Anni and Jannelly Valencia.
Mr. Herbert.
You were my first teacher, when I was 3 years old at St. Pius head start on Grand. I am 31 years old now and still remember your classroom. You were always so happy and funny. You gave me my first nick name (peanut butter and jelly) because of the spelling of my name. You were an amazing human being. My mom was your teacher assistant. You were always so patient with her and always helping my family. My mom always spoke about you and your mom, your kids and your wife. The last time you helped me was just 4 years ago. You didn’t even hesitate. My mom, my sisters and myself are so blessed to have met you. You really have no idea the impact you made in our life. And I am so sorry to Jennifer, Jessica and Jacob. Prayers to your family. You will be greatly missed.
I’m so sad to hear this news. Ken was my head start teacher and made a forever impression on my life. He was a ray of sunshine and I loved running into him around St. Louis. I’m so sorry for your loss, and praying for the whole family.
Ken was such a great blessing for the work he has done for the St Pius Food Pantry, especially during the holidays. He was a wonderful man. I especially enjoyed seeing him in shorts in the dead of winter. We will miss him greatly.
Robert and Sharon so sorry to hear about this. Will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers
I’m so sorry for your family Jen, Ken was such a nice man, and he’s gone too soon. I’m sure that he will be missed by everyone who him.
I will pray for his soul, and for your family and friends.
Ken was one of the kindest, most caring people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. It was always so clear how deeply he loved Jen, his family, and everyone he met. I’ll always remember him with that big smile on his face and a little, sly joke ready to follow. Thinking of you and your family and sending all my love during this incredibly hard time.
Ken was more than just a coworker; he was a real friend. I always felt like I was talking to a big brother more than a coworker. I’ll always remember his wit and humor, all the ranting sessions we shared, and I’m so grateful for the time we had together. He had a way of making everyone feel heard and valued, and I’ll miss his friendship, advice, and presence more than words can say. RIP Big Brother Ken.
Ken is sorely missed at the office and there will be a hole in our world here for years to come. Praying for peace for you, Jen and Jessica and Jacob while you search to find your new “normal”. Ken was a good man and we were lucky to have known him.
Ken will be missed and sending thoughts and prayers to Jen and the whole family.
Ken was a great guy. We have been friends and business partners for many years. He always put everyone ahead of himself. He was that friend that everyone needs in their corner, the one that always supports you in the toughest situations and that person who would correct you if he felt you could make a better decision. He always wanted the best for everyone around him.
He was extremely funny on one hand and on the hand, a person you could sit down and talk to for hours and he would listen as long as it took to make sure you were okay.
He made everyone around him a better person. You will be missed. Rest easy my friend.
Ken was such a bright light in this world. He would tackle everyday with kindness, laughter and a contagious smile. I’m so grateful for the times I got to share in that joy and laughter with him. He will be deeply missed
Ken had a way of making anyone in the room feel welcome. Truly an inspiration for everyone who has known him. He will live on in the impacts he made in others lives, and then through their actions and impacts they make on others. Kindness is a cycle and he was one who kept that cycle going despite it all.
Kenneth Herbert was helpful, resourceful, always smiling, a comedian at times, like to prank his fellow co-workers, and friendly. It was a great pleasure knowing and working with him in the classroom as his assistant teacher at Magnolia Head Start. May he rest in peace in peace 🙏🏽💐, sending my condolences and prayers to the family. XO
