Here you go:
I still do not have all the details surrounding his untimely death, but can let you know it occurred late yesterday afternoon outside of Denver while he was snowmobiling. It was a single vehicle accident and the exact/correct details have not been made public, and I am in no position to speculate. Ken was a very, very experienced automobile driver, a good outdoorsman and has logged many hours snowmobiling in recent years...
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.

Thoughts and prayers are with Ken's friends and family. I didn't know him personally, but hearing from those that did, I missed out on knowing a good man.
RIP Ken.
RIP Ken.

Update on Ken's passing
For all concerned, here is some additional information for our dear friend Ken Speranza:
Funeral Service to be held Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 7:00 P.M., and is open to all:
New Apostolic Church
10701 S.W. 59th Street
Cooper City, FL 33328
Please understand that this information is not posted in order to request attendance and/or flowers, but to keep you apprised of notices posted by Ken's family. Regarding assistance for Ken's family, I have not heard anything at this time. The funeral information is posted for anyone who would like to attend, but also for everyone to take a moment at this time and remember Ken in their own way. This Forum has a membership that is first-class, at the right point in time I would like to share all of the comments with Ken's family. I have met some of you (Brooks, Pete, Bill and others at a Moroso Rental Night), and am thankful for such. Regarding the specific circumstances surrounding Ken's passing, I will not post any more information, as I know of no more at this time, and do not want to air erroneous information. His life was very blessed, his soul will continue in his utmost duty to help others, and we can remember him as a man who loved his wife and children deeply. I also started a thread on the SRT-8 Forums, Ken owned a 300C-SRT8 w/SC, and their words are most kind.

Update regarding Ken's passing and a photo
Ken's wife, Kathy, has not made known any public requests for any financial assistance to her or their sons. Instead, she has requested the following:
In lieu of flowers, Kathy would be very happy if donations were made in Ken Speranza's name to "NAC USA Youth Development LLC - Denver Youth Service". Please mark donation as such and mail to:
New Apostolic Church USA
NAC USA Youth Development LLC
404 Glen Cove Avenue
Sea Cliff, NY 11579
Please understand that this information is not posted in order to solicit donations, but to keep you apprised of notices posted by Ken's family
This was also posted on the SRT-8 Forum, and one member wrote some very kind and thoughtful words:
"The poster of the information says nothing about a fund for his kids...
but of giving to others...
(some things never change with quicksilver)...
Please let us know that his children are financially ok...
quicksilver was one of the contributing family back in the day...
my thoughts go out to his family...
be careful all and enjoy life."
I will advise all if I hear of a fund to assist the family.
Many who posted never met Ken in person, please view attached photo:

As mentioned earlier, Ken was very active in his faith; a conservative estimate would be that at least 50% of his time not spent with family or in the workplace, was spent on church activities. Many young people from all over the U.S.A. who interacted with Ken at church events, started a blog and have offered many kind and sincere words:

Ken's passing is very painful, but it is not in vain, as fond rememberances of him will never leave us.
