Mr. Nance was an exceptional attorney and a compassionate man who helped my daughter and myself out during a time of much stress and grief in our life. He never failed to be their for use, always reassuring us it would be okay and he somehow always kept his word. My daughter and I owe much to his care of us during a difficult legal time.

A friend recommended Ken to me when my son, a senior, in high school got into some trouble. It was his first time in trouble, but it was bad enough to be arrested. He was a juvenile (17) and a good kid, but made a bad mistake in judgment and let anger take over. I was beside myself with worry - not knowing what to do. Ken took time out on a Saturday morning to talk to my son alone and explain to him the consequences of his actions. He also wanted to see what kind of boy he was before representing him. He called to tell me I had a good boy who made a bad decision. He said he would represent him in court. I didn't have much money and asked about the fee and he said how about $600 as a retainer. I had previously been quoted $1900 - just to start.... Ken represented my son well who went on to college, got his degree and is a great man today. He paid his fine, did community service. After it was all over, I remember I asked Ken how much I owed him and he said, "How much did you pay me for the retainer?" I said, "$600". He said, "I think that's plenty." If you would like to do more, you can make a donation to the "Make a Wish Foundation." I live in Ohio now. My son who got into trouble? He is 31 now and married for the first time last week to a wonderful lady who has a 2 year old son. He wanted to go to the Nances' for help in adopting the boy and that is how I found that Ken had passed. I'm so very sorry for your loss. OKC lost a great man....one to I will be forever grateful to. Ken, may the angels take special care of you!

My heart felt condolences go to each member of Ken's family. Thanks for sharing him with his family at the Capitol! The sound of his voice and the kindness in his heart will be forever missed in the halls and office of the Oklahoma State legislature! I met him first 28 years ago and his kindness and sweetness of spirit toward a "newcomer" will always be remembered. We are all saddened by the loss of Ken Nance in our lives! Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Ken was always a favorite at the Capitol. It has not been the same without seeing him there the last year or so, but we always KNEW he would be back. All the newly elected Reps and Senators who will never have the chance to meet and know Ken are really missing something. Think of the wealth of knowledge that died with Ken and Clem. And Yes I know we have the sons who have learned from the masters but for the ones of us who share the same number of decades of existence, it will never be quite the same. Sincere condolences to Mrs. Nance, to Brian and to all the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
