In Loving Memory of Ken Cowles

To MRF registrants:

We are sad to announce the passing of a good and kind human being, Ken Cowles. Ken passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 26, 2007.

Ken was the Director of Media and PR for the Morgellons Research Foundation and worked extremely long hours for the cause. He felt it was his calling to help all people with this devastating illness and he never waivered in his belief or his efforts. It is due to Ken's determination and sense of right, that Morgellons disease has received so much media attention starting with KTVU in San Francisco and including ABC's Primetime Live.

Ken learned about Morgellons disease six years ago from a woman with the illness who was living in Washington State. She contacted Ken because she knew that he had worked with the media on other stories and asked him to consider helping our group. She asked Ken to speak with people at the MRF for more information and he agreed. After learning more about the illness and speaking with physicians who had patients, Ken reached out to his contacts in the media and asked for their help raising public awareness of the disease.

Below is the thank you to Ken that the MRF has had on the website for several months. Those of us who knew Ken, loved him and will miss him. Ken was a good man with a pure heart.

Thank you, Ken Cowles!

The Morgellons community would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Kenneth (Ken) Cowles, MRF Director of Media and Public Relations, for working diligently and consistently for six years to help all people with Morgellons disease.

Although Ken does not have Morgellons disease, nor does anyone in his family, he has devoted an enormous amount of his personal time to help raise public awareness of the disease.

Thousanads of people with Morgellons disease have reported that they became aware of others with their illness only after seeing media coverage which Ken has coordinated over the years. Ken's contacts in the media led to the initial KTVU media report of Morgellons disease in March 2004. This initial report was the beginning of a public awareness campaign which Ken directed and devoted himself to daily.

To Ken Cowles, we would like to say a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU for caring about the plight of other people, and for a job well done!

Thanks for posting this information about Ken Cowles. I am sorry to hear that the MRF has lost such a valuable member of their team.

EvDownJr, you are kind to post this information so we could all see it so promptly.

Personally I read and enjoy all of your posts and do not find them lacking in tact. In fact I feel you display quite a bit of tact.

Ev,

Sorry to say I don't know who he was, but what a valiant and magnanimous person he must have been.

Do they know what he died of?
