On Monday, August 26, 2024 we lost Kenneth R. Ahlburg, the most special husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend that we could ever hope for, at the age of 81. He lived a purposeful life of
loving his family, helping his neighbors, traveling, golfing and enjoying every minute of it. He will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
