I remember Kenny Klein from my days at Murray State. I didn't know him well, but said hi to him once or twice in the fine arts building. I always admired him.

I don't want to get into details, but I called him once to ask him if he could help out a very special family in western Kentucky and he could not have been nicer or more accommodating. To say he made a huge difference in their lives during that time is a massive understatement.

Rest in Peace to a great one.

No disrespect and my sympathies to his family but there’s a story going around that he choked to death on a piece of shrimp?

Louisville sports figure Kenny Klein dead after choking at restaurant: report

I heard he was at dinner with Pitino and Padgett when this happened. Padgett attempted the Heimlech but I guess he was out of oxygen for too long.

scary stuff. I’m sure none of us think that a shrimp is going to take us out.

RIP. Having listened to UofL shows as they struggled, the local media always talked him up and he appeared to be a wonderful person. Sad and shocking way to go.

But I send my condolences to Cards Nation for the loss of Kenny Klein. He's their Mr. Wildcat. When you see grown men like Pitino struggle to keep it together during their eulogy, you know he was a special person.

By all accounts he was just a great person. Rational and human in the heat of the rivalry. Need more like him. That's a big loss.

Powerful eulogy by Pitino. RIP Kenny. Condoloences to all friends and family. The world is a lesser place without people like him in it.
