MARGARET MATSON, Wall Artist "Painting these many names was an incredible meditation for me, trying to acknowledge their lives in this time & place. Art wise, my intention was to have it feel ephemeral, as if it blew in from the ocean.

Ken Williams & his wife Donna on his final day. Disclaimer: The list of names compiled by Ken, as on this website have been submitted through word-of-mouth from a multitude of people, mainly other street friends. There have not been regular records to bear witness to our counties homeless deaths. This list falls short of details from dates, full names, photos, reasons of death and is in no way inclusive of all. It is years of Ken recording what he heard. If a person was housed in recent years, we add them here. If they died in hospital or care facility, we add them here. Same if they left the county recently. Updated information may be sent to Info@worthstreetreach.org. Please place “Memorial Website Update” in the subject. Go to the "help" tab for other ways to acknowledge loved ones.
