Mr. Jacobsen encouraged me to take his pottery class when I was still in Jr. high.  Upon entering South Salem I did just that for 3 years.  I'll never forget getting to go to his home and use his gas kiln.  This was a big deal compared to out little electric kilns at school.  I won 1st place at the Bush Barn Art Show for HS students with a pot fired in his kiln.  I still have it!  I went on to enjoy ceramics in college where I made and sold my work at OCE (Western Oregon), helping me pay for college.  Such a great man.  God Bless.

It was with profound sadness I learned about Ken's passing. I first met Ken when I joined the teaching staff at South Salem High School. His enthusiasm and wonder teaching his students was contagious. I visited with him several times at the Willamette Art Center. His expertise with clay was to be admired.He was a friend, co-worker and fellow child of the King. May you be comforted by our Lord's peace knowing Ken is safely home.

Ken was kind to everyone he dealt with and his students loved him.

Ken was a beloved art teacher of ours at South high for so many years. Later, when I became an art teacher myself, inspired by the art faculty at South Salem HS, I had the opportunity to work with Ken a couple of years before he retired. I can still see his eyes twinkle, his laugh, and the gentle bear style of his nature. He was -and will always be - a beloved fixture for so many of his art students. 
My condolences to his family

So very sorry to hear of this. Condolences to the family and friends of Ken.

Ken was such a fixture at the Art Center.  He always wore a kind welcome to all.  I have 2 of his beautiful vases and they are cherished as a reminder of a wonderful man.   He spoke often of his wife and family and when we met, the first thing he told me was that he was a Christian.   There is definitely a void now when I walk into the art center and he is not sitting there working on one of his beautiful vases.     He will truly truly be missed

The fabric of the art world will be forever changed with Ken's passing.  What a kind and brilliant man.  My thoughts and prayers for the family.  ~Pancho & Kathy Cervantes

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
