I just saw Ken two weeks ago in Vegas. I had dinner with him and then went and saw his show "La Reve" at the Wynn Hotel with him. I did not see this coming. Ken I will miss you more than you realize. All of us will. I looked to you as one of the few of us that actually went out in the world and single handedly did what you set out to.
So hard to find the words to express how special Ken is to my life. Ryan introduced us 5 years ago when we all moved to Vegas. Knowing Ken and our circle of great friends here, he will be so deeply missed. He was a great business partner and an amazing friend. We had a blast working on so many shows and traveling the world together. Vegas will not be the same without Ken Tilden bringing everyone together and making us laugh. My heart hurts..... the great memories will live in all of us.

Ken,
It saddens me that you left so soon. It would have been great to have done a few projects together. I know you talent and friendship will be missed by all. I will be doing a show tonight and will send you out some of my lights so that it will compliment the other lights you have up there.
Cheers mate.
Ken was absolutely one of the best Stage Managers I have ever had the chance to work with. He was one in a million with his quiet demeanor and sense of humour.
I so remember our time in Montreal when the day could not start without a triple shot Latte.
He will be sadly missed in the Theatre World and also at Starbucks!

Dear Ken,
You showed me the bright side of the life when I was lost in the dark.
You taught me how to enjoy the “now”. I hated Vegas but you showed me how to love it. Your fine suggestions boosted my creativity. Your magnetism and your ability to make everybody feel special and important always amazed me.
I will miss you so much!
Rest in Peace dear friend…

Hey all,
The following is provided by the lovely and talented Soozi Childers, who regrettably, could not attend last night.
I knew Ken from a distance. I had the pleasure of working with him on a few projects scattered over the past few years and always marveled at his calm … but I also recognized there was something running very deep inside him, something I could not touch; nor would I imagine any of you could either.
Human pain and its resulting suffering can oftentimes become an abyss, a rapidly plunging depth which swirls out of control, taking the heart and the mind down with it. But the soul always surfaces. It is buoyant, hardy, fool proof and ever lasting.
I believe that Ken’s pain has been washed away with all our tears … with the agony of loss that those who loved him deeply now share. I don’t believe suicide is an act of selfishness, as we are taught, but instead, an act of love for one’s own existence. If we truly believe in spirit and life ever after, then we must believe our death is the ultimate release of our purest form.
I know for those who believe in scripture, in heaven and hell, concepts such as these may seem blasphemous … psycho babble if you will, from new age types who deny the existence of evil and sin. Well, I am one of those new age types, so providing words of comfort within the confines of those tenants are impossible for me. I simply do not believe them. But I do believe in spirit, in life everlasting and the essence of spirit as a pure and joyful energy, united in God’s abundance.
Ken’s soul has been reminded of its own magnificence, of this I am sure. His joy is everlasting, his peace assured. So today, with these words spoken, I try to release the image of Ken I have in my mind’s eye, from our last two moments shared together, shirt unbuttoned, his easy charm and happy smile washing over me, as he sits sideways on the stage … or hunches in over his glass of wine to talk to me discreetly … remembering vividly our constant exchange of ideas … so many images of him comes to mind as I write these words, but I know it is necessary to release those images and in its place, see a glorious and radiant energy, zipping through space and time at warp speed … so much to do in a life ever lasting.
Namaste.
Soozi Childers
