Kerby Scott Aslesen

Kerby Scott Aslesen was taken much too soon from us at the age of 66 years on August 11, 2020. He was born on October 20, 1953 in Edina, MN to the late Kenneth Roger Aslesen and Delphi Mae Aslesen. He attended Poway High School in San Diego, CA and was on the varsity football team. He later went on to Stanford and graduated as a civil engineer. However, his course was set to change when he was hired by Gulf Oil as a petroleum engineer. He was working out of Bakersfield, CA, when he met Barbara, the woman who would be his loving wife for 40 years. He retired from Chevron as a Reserves Manager after devoting 39 years of service to the company. He and his wife were able to buy their dream home on Lake Pontchartrain, where they spent an idyllic retirement together since December of 2018. Kerby was a member of Church of the King, Woodbridge Baptist, Stanford Alumni, Petroleum Engineers Club, the World War II Museum, and the Houston Museum of Science. He is survived by: his wife, Barbara Lynn Aslesen; his daughter, Korin Lee O’Brien (Darren); his sons, Kendel Scott Aslesen (Jackie), Aaron Jay Glendenning (Stacy), and Philip Joseph Aslesen; his sisters, Kay Warneke (Jeff) and Karen Byrd (Gordon); his brother, Kenneth Aslesen, Jr. (Shelly); his siblings-in-law, Ken O’Rand, Bob O’Rand, and Janet Bashor (Gary); and his grandchildren, Ruairi, Rhiannon, Roguen, Brooklynn, and Kamellia.
