Kenneth was a classmate of the Class of 1976 from GCCHS in Belle Glade, Florida. I remember him as being an outgoing young man. He was a jokester who loved to have fun. He was also a kind young man who always made me laugh and smile. My condolences go out to his family and friends during this very difficult time. May he rest in peace and love.

My condolences to the Fletcher Family for their loss.. I met Kenny and his brother Eddie in high school at Glades Central..Kenny was class of 76 and I was class of 77..we had fun during those years!..RIP Kenny

Ken and Tia are my mother’s neighbor.  Ken was one of the nicest gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  He was a good soldier watching after the elders in his neighborhood.  When I would come to visit mom, he would greet me by saying “hi sis.”  He was a kind soul.  Ken will be dearly missed and I pray that Tia and his children find comfort in knowing how loved and respected by so many people.

Thank you for your service to our Country.

I had to dig and find this picture but when this picture was taken you were so in love with this little girl.

Kenneth, I can’t believe that you were gone. Thank you for giving me the best gift that I ever could receive in life and that is our daughter. She has your drive for excellence and integrity and I know you are so proud of her as I am. What people can take from you is that you have a good heart and you want the best for people but you may not always say it the right way but you mean well. Rest easy my friend until we see each other again.
Love
Londa

Fletch you will missed!  I will miss your humor as I worked on my vehicle at the Craft Shop.  Alas, I will miss your service today.  In a few you will join your final formation … rest in peace … job well  done!

My Friend, my classmate and fellow Soldier, it saddens me to see you go, but I know God return you back to him. As I read the comments of others and how you impacted their lives, I humbly submit to the world, that everything they said was true and more. You were a game changer in the automotive world. Many times I travel to the Auto Craft just to change my oil or any mechanical task just to be in your presence. You fostered a positive atmosphere for men to talk men business. I love that!

To the Fetcher family, I’m in prayer for you all. I will support you until I join my friend in Heaven! 
DA as he referred to me!

Farwell to an awesome leader, father, husband and friend.  You were one of the first leaders to set me in the right path during my military career and I will always be grateful for that. To be absent from the body is to be with the Lord. Rest Easy Big Fletch.

Condolences to the family! He was a Legend and smile if you ever visited the Fort Jackson Auto Craft shop. I also witnessed him taking repaired cars to family members in Florida. Rest easy Brother!

Home Boy. Gone but not forgotten. Fletch and I ran into each other in Germany at the NCO Academy. He said home now you know your Soldier has to be straight to get a slot. I said got it home. Didn’t drive this far to not drop him off. Fletch always holding the line without showing favoritism. Ran into Fletch again at Fort Jackson in 2001. He said home we meet again and you know how I get down. Got it home. Let’s go. With Fletch what you see is what you get. Often times he would invite me to the house to show me a new toy (vehicle) just recently purchased. Home you know I got to dial it in. You know how we do it from the muck. My condolences to the family. Gone but not forgotten. Homeboy Ed Blackmon aka Pop muck city.

A great man, and friend. Thanks for the memories and the knowledge.  Praying for and with the family. May you find peace and strength as you mourn the loss of your love one.

To the Fletcher family,

I had the honor to take care of him as a patient and  to assist him with His veteran affairs. He was a great family man, soldier and a credit to this great nation.  The life he lived set the example for all of us to follow. I believe God had a special place reserved for him.  My prayers go out to the family.  Continued blessings to his family.

                  Sincerely, Doc Dillard

Our condolences to the Fletcher family, Wilhemina and I are truly sorry for your loss. Fletch was an extraordinary individual who touched the lives of many with his kindness and integrity. As a soldier, he demonstrated leadership not only in his professional duties but also in the personal lives of those around him. His commitment to doing the right thing, even when no one was watching, speaks volumes about his character.

Fletch ensuring my wife's vehicle was roadworthy in my absence, highlight his selflessness and the genuine care he had for friends and family. His generosity extended far beyond my experiences, impacting many others in meaningful ways.

Losing someone who played such a significant role in our life is incredibly difficult, and it's important to cherish the memories and celebrate the positive influence he had on my family and those around him. During this time of grief, leaning on shared stories and support from those who knew him can be comforting. Remember that it’s okay to reach out to us or talk about your feelings as you navigate through this loss. If you need someone to listen, we are here.

Wow!!! You’re Missed Fletch!!!

Earned Your Crown! RIH!

Robert Bennett

I am very sorry for the family's loss.  SGM Fletcher was my platoon SGT in Vicenza Italy as well and he was a serious motivator.  We were the motor pool section in an airborne infantry unit and we had the highest physical fitness scores and beat everyone because of his leadership.  He pushed us to be our best.. and was able to do it in a way that was tough but still treated us with respect.  I really love this man, and he was probably the first person in my life to really believe in me and see my potential and helped me to believe in myself.  I am grateful that he was my leader.  

Sincerely,

Jim Neiner

Me and my husband sent our sincere prayers and condolence to the family, we will continue praying your strength and your time of bereavement🙏🏾 kennith will be truly missed. I will miss his phone calls when he would say auntie I just called to check on you. rest in peace, my nephew, your memories always be with me your auntie Mary and Dwayne Payne🙏🏾🙏🏾

My heart is heavy.  Fletch was responsible for bringing Reggie and I together over 30 years ago.  He would always say in that rough, loud voice ... "Don't mess this up, Nez!" Fletch projected a hard, tough exterior, but was a pure teddy bear when it came to his friends and love ones.  I know he will be sincerely missed. Tia, you and the entire family have our sincere sympathies.  Hold fast to the memories that made you laugh out loud.  As a Believer in Jesus Christ, you will see him again.

To the entire Fletcher family, we’re so sorry for the loss your Amazing  love one.  Kenneth Fletcher, aka K-Dog, as I knew him growing up was always a great example for us in the neighborhood.  It’s no surprise that he took this same example into the Army where he excelled to the highest NCO rank possible, (CSM/E-9) while positively touching thousands of lives with his love caring spirit.  K-Dog you were the first to inspire me to join the Army when you came home with that nice white clean ride! Lol I missed you in Italy because I didn’t want to got there but instead went to Korea.  It was years later we connected in Fort Jackson SC in 2007-2017 and to the present.  I miss them calls we made to each other even when we were right down the street from each other lol.  We didn’t let too many days go by without chopping it up.  Didn’t matter who called who, you started with “Homi what’s going on, I’m checking in on ya!” and  you know where we came from, The Muck, so we gotta stick together no matter what!  We would say,  this is too easy compared to what our parents had to do so we can make it this far, and I would say, you’re so right Homi, it’s too easy!!!  You were funny because when I came to your Auto Craft Shop, you would say, now Homi I can’t just help you only!  I would say I know Homi!  But You still gave me all the attention I needed and told your workers to make Sure they took care of me and helped me with whatever I needed.  lol My Homi my Fiend my Muck Stepper Family! I’ll miss you and love you my Friend!!

My sincere condolences to the Fletcher family. Fletch was my best friend;  we spent countless hours turning wrenches, searching junkyards for part, and enjoying breakfast or lunch . Fletch would do anything to help someone. You will be greatly missed Buddy.
Ricky or what Fletch always called me “Jaye money”

My deepest sympathies to the Fletcher family. 

CSM Fletcher greatly influenced my career and impacted my growth as a man and as a Leader.  Upright and brutally honest, he lived with integrity. He stood up for his family. If you worked for or with him, you were Family!  He held us to a higher standard, enabling us to stand out from everyone else!  

Every time we talked you were genuinely interested and concerned with my wellbeing, both personally and professionally. You wanted me to succeed in whatever I was doing. CSM Fletcher thank you for your lasting guidance and influence.  Rest Well!

My Condolences to the Fletcher Family, His Wife,  his children's and Grands.   May God continue to give each of you the strength, peace, Wisdom and Grace to move forward.  Let the Love and Peace of God rest and be upon each of you.   God Love you and want us to trust his Ways and Will.....Continue to trust God.
Patricia Fletcher Rogers

First let me start off and say he was a straight up MAN!!!! If he had something to tell you believe me it was NOT behind your back ….. he was a GREAT guy once you got to know him he will be missed!

CSM Fletcher
Love you like a brother, your mentorship, love of life the continued demonstration of superior leadership skills to be emulated by all. I will miss you but it your turn to be seated at right hand of our father

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your husband. Fletch was a husband, father, brother and Soldier who touched the lives of of so many. Even though I didn’t know Fletch for a long time we had some great memories. He had such a love of Soldiers but his greatest love was that of his son. I remember many times riding with Fletch to pick up his son at school. So very proud of his boy and how smart he was. I know he’ll continue to make his family proud.  I worked as a volunteer at the auto-craft shop at Fort Jackson. Tough and fair he always helped the junior grade Soldier that visited the craft shop and imbued that support into the other working members. It was not only the craft shop he also enjoyed football and other activities. One Saturday we travelled to Knoxville to watch the Volunteers take on the Gators. His favorite team and they won. Fletch was on cloud nine after the victory. As we drove home, my car threw a serpentine belt. We immediately pulled off Hwy 26 and called a toll truck. Who better to have with you than Fletch.  I cherish the time I had with Fletch. He positively influenced so many lives during his time on earth. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time. 
Ralph and Gloria Allison

May God continue to strengthen the Fletcher family as they go through the loss of losing their love one bka K dog.  Rest in peace classmate.

The world just lost a great man. 😥 Words can't describe the type of true leader and friend SGM Fletcher was. This man helped shape and mold me into the Soldier I am today.

Back in 2001, I had the honor and privilege to serve under him. I didn't have "blood" family at Ft. Jackson, but he and the crew I worked with became my family!

When I married my first wife Jennifer, SGM Fletcher stood up for me at our wedding, and even threw my Batchelor Party. In 2005, when Jennifer tragically passed away, SGM and the rest of the crew came up to Indiana for her funeral to honor her and be there to comfort me. Up until last year or so when he became ill, SGM Fletcher used to call me every 2-3 months to check up on me. Even if it was a couple minute phone call, he just wanted to make sure I was OK and check in.

I can't thank him enough for all the things he has helped me with in my life!! He was an amazing man, leader, and human!  My thoughts and prayers are with his family!!! I will be traveling down to Ft. Jackson to attend his service and honor him.

CSM  Fletcher was my platoon Sergeant in Vicenza, Italy. We often butted heads because we were both strong willed. But I always respected the fact that he wanted us to be the best. I was definitely in the best physical shape of my life under his leadership.  My heart goes out to his family. He was definitely one of a kind!

Deepest condolences to the family. Fletch was  a great friend and will be deeply missed. May you find comfort in knowing that  he is with our Lord and no longer suffering. 

Troy & Eunice Clay.

He will truly be missed by so many of us.
Much love and blessings to the family. 
Ira & Verne Daniels

CSM Fletcher was my platoon Sergeant while stationed in Italy. He played a big roll in what I am today, instilling the competitive attitude in me. I remember the PT sessions we had and the runs to monte berico. I still hear him today.. Say 500 and 500.. That was push ups and sit ups.. on one run I beat him and he was mad all day. Lol I will truly miss him RIP CSM Fletcher.

To the family.

Our sincere prayers and condolences to you at this difficult time and days ahead. May God give you strength and comfort as you reflect on the beautiful memories of my friend Fletch,
With love, Reggie & Audrey Nesbit

Brother Flechter and family. What a life you have lived. Full of passion and caring for so many. Loved the car shows you put on. Take your rest in the loving arms of the King.

Fletch was an outstanding Soldier, but a better friend. I like many others called him brother. He was always available to assist especially with a vehicle. He definitely had a love for vantage cars. I have missed being apart of the car shows on Ft. Jackson. My regret is I did not get to see him before his death. Spoke of him often but never got to see him. My condolences to his wife, children and family. Rest in eternal love and peace my brother.  Final Salute CSM Fletcher, job well done!!!!  Loved you  my brother. 

Bridgette Smith

Fletcher was my big brother for many, many years! He would call and check on me and my well being every day if we were not close to each other!  Fletch it has been several years since I told you how my you ment to me and how much I love you! You are my big brother forever and always!  I know that Mike met you at the gates when you were called home!  You are alway in my heart and always will be my big brother! RIP my brother!! You are with my son and my friends now! God is Good!
