Ken was a man who loved his family. He worked hard most days of his life to ensure his family was well taken care of. When he was not working, he enjoyed doing arts and crafts. He found joy in many of his crafts, but he especially enjoyed wood working. Ken could be found watching old western movies; GRIT was his favorite channel. He loved being outside in any manner, whether it was working in his garden, doing yard repair, or just simply relaxing in the sun. Ken proudly served his country during the Korean War from 1950 until 1952. In previous years, he also volunteered and worked maintenance in his church, Morgan Mill Baptist.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Union County and Lee Park Baptist Church.
