August 1, 1945 - February 8, 2025
In loving memory ~
Ken passed peacefully on February 8, 2025 in hospital surrounded by his loving family. Ken was born in Walkerton, Ontario where he met and married his wife, Rosemary in 1970. Following his graduation from the University of Waterloo, Ken and Rose moved to Campbell River where Ken worked as a mechanical engineer at the Elk Falls Mill for 30 years.
Ken was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who loved spending time with his family. Ken and Rose were blessed with four children, Heather (Eric), Erin (Jerry), Steven (Sandy), and Kathryn (Ben) and 10 grandchildren; Kurtis (Dani), Matthew, Jillaine, Lauren, Elias, Everett, Emily, Avery, Owen and Pierce. Our father and Grandpa will be greatly missed.
Ken always loved the outdoors and had a particular passion for fishing, hunting, mushroom gathering and camping with family and friends. Ken also enjoyed reading, gardening, and working in his shop at various home improvement projects. Known as hard working, methodical and efficient in his professional and personal life, Ken put these talents to use as a volunteer and organizer of the K of C Community Christmas Hamper Fund for 40+ years, with his final year being December of 2024.
A mass of Christian burial at St Patrick's Catholic Church will be held on February 22, 2025 at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the BC Lung Foundation.
The family would like to thank Dr R. Ramsey for years of compassionate care of Ken and also to the wonderful attentive staff at North Island Hospital in Campbell River.
