Ken was an avid outdoorsman. Over the years, he enjoyed hunting and fishing with his good friends Murph & Lori Roberts.

He liked to help work on the surrounding ranches. He would help Bob & Jayson Fox at brandings, and he enjoyed helping them and being part of the gang.

Ken’s circle of friends was small, but he was a fiercely loyal friend and confidante. He will be missed.

As per his wishes, cremation will take place and his cremains will be scattered in a place that he enjoyed spending time in.
