Our beloved Ken was devoted to his family and proud of all his children and grandchildren. He was well liked, respected, and kind hearted. He was always there to lend a hand. He loved tinkering with his cars, watching Bruce Lee movies, baking desserts, and attending Comic-Con and Pacific Islander festivities around town. Mostly, Ken treasured the quality time he spent with his family and his Chamorro community. He had such a great sense of humor and enjoyed all types of music but one of his favorites was Fleetwood Mac. Ken attended Guam Vocational Technical High School in Mangilao, Guam, as a Diesel Mechanic, graduating in 1975. He went on to serve in the U.S. Army as a Materials and Storage Handling Specialist from 1978 to 1982. He worked numerous jobs between the Army and Civil Service, but one is the most prevalent and that was working with his brother Roland at Familian Pipe and Supply in the warehouse in Anaheim, California from 1987 to 1994. Ken spent the rest of his time as a civil servant for the Department of the Navy and Army providing them with over 30 years of faithful service. Ken will forever be missed by his family and friends.
