William Shields wrote a sympathy message

“Kenny Anderson was a legend, one of a kind that will never exist again. I was blessed to know the man and call him my good friend. I was also fortunate to have been able to spend time with him, when together we wrote the book "Never Take No For An Answer", his legacy. While writing the book together I got to understand the hardships that he experienced as a child, which no doubt, created the dogged determination and the ambition that allowed him to achieve success as an adult. I'll miss you Ken!”
