Kenneth W. Stevens served in the U.S. Army.
Lieutenant Kenneth Stevens suffered a fatal heart attack following a boating accident on the Connecticut River near Lyme, Connecticut. He and other officers were assisting the United States Navy with port security when his patrol boat struck a pylon for an old pier. Lieutenant Stevens and the four other occupants of the boat were all thrown into the water. As the men swam towards the shore, Lieutenant Stevens suffered a heart attack. A group of juvenile boys witnessed the incident and pulled Lieutenant Stevens from the water. Then, they towed the rest of the officers to shore. Lieutenant Stevens was a United States WWI Army veteran and served with the Connecticut State Police for 17 years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Lieutenant Stevens gave the Connecticut State Police 17 years.
Thank you for your service to the people of Connecticut, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
