Ken was born October 1, 1946 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. After graduating from Lakeside High School, he attended Henderson State University, before enlisting in the Air Force. He spent the majority of his working career in auto sales; working for Resort Ford and Allen Tillery Chevrolet.
Ken was a member of Leonard Street Baptist Church. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, riding horses, camping, boating, and riding motorcycles.
Everyone knew Ken as a kind, hard-working family man. He always had a word of advice, a story to tell and more than likely, a corny joke. He could build or fix anything and would help anyone with whatever they needed.
Ken will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Gross Funeral Home. We would like to acknowledge Robynn Sheets from Gross Funeral Home for her overwhelming compassion and kindness.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Leonard Street Baptist Church, 625 Leonard Street, Hot Springs, Arkansas, 71913.
