Ken loved to share his gift of music at weddings, church services, funerals, and was best known for the Lord’s Prayer. Kenny even wrote some of his own music. He sang through the west as attested by the many tributes on his facebook page. Ken was willing to find time to drop everything, drive across the state to a small church in Swan Valley to just sing one song at a friend’s wedding at his own expense.

There will be a memorial service at a later date. Baucke Funeral Home directed the arrangements.
