Ken was a very generous man who donated to many charities and would always have your favorite treat if you would come to visit. Ken loved to go to the casino and play scratch off tickets. More than gambling Ken loved his family; especially when they would all gather for holidays and play cards.

He is survived by his wife, Joyce; daughter Dawn (Doug) Yenser; sons Lance (Solveigh) and Wade (Kim) Schueler; 9 grandchildren; and 8 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by both of his parents (Louis and Henrietta) and sisters (Louise and Edna); great-grandson Easton Lindeman; and great-granddaughter Brielle Wilson.
