Dear IREM® Columbus Members, Industry Partners, and friends of IREM®.

It is with profound sadness that I must inform you of the unexpected passing of our Immediate Past President and current Board Member Ken Schaefer on Wednesday, July 3rd. Ken was not just a member of our Commercial Real Estate community; he was an integral pillar whose dedication and contributions have significantly shaped the growth and stability of our chapter.

Ken's commitment to IREM® and his passion for advancing our industry were evident in everything he did. His leadership and unwavering support have left an indelible mark on all of us who had the privilege to work alongside him.

During this difficult time, our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Ken's family and loved ones. We recognize the impact of this loss on our community and offer our heartfelt condolences to all who knew him.

As we mourn the loss of a dear friend and colleague, let us also remember the invaluable contributions Ken made to IREM® Columbus. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we move forward.

We will provide information regarding Ken's Celebration of Life as we learn more. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kevin Friend, CPM®
Chapter President
