He would have celebrated his 67th birthday on the 20th of June.

Ken attended Snow Community College in Utah, and received a wrestling scholarship from Utah State University, where he earned his degree in Kinesiology and Secondary Education. He loved teaching others and aspired to become a high school teacher. However his work with his dad and brothers in the Sunshine Silver Mine of North Idaho began a career spanning more than 40 years in the mining, cement manufacturing and logging industries where he specialized in the field of health and safety. He was very proud of his gold claim on the North Fork of the Yuba River, and loved to tell stories of the larger than life characters that he met, who chose to be miners. Ken worked for 30 years at the Davenport Cement plant and finished his career at Big Creek Lumber as the Health and Safety Manager, and leaves many dear friends and colleagues behind.
