Ken was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers Lambert, Robert, and Donald; and his half-sister, Irene Stone.

Kens family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Krista and Julie of CHI Hospice for their care and support throughout this journey; and our immense gratitude to the St. Cloud VA Hospice caregivers for the compassionate end of life care they provided.
