Ken had a love of nature; he enjoyed hiking and identifying flora and fauna. He looked forward to hunting and fishing seasons. The greatest joy came from spending time with his family. How he adored his two grandchildren Jaxon and Makenna who always brought a smile to his face. He wished he could have been a Pa Pa that was more actively involved with them.

He found great comfort in turning over the majority of running the farm ground to his special nephew Ryan Adams and enjoyed being updated on how things were going and growing on a daily basis. Ken has many special friends and neighbors that were close to him in which he enjoyed visits from.
