He was a stellar athlete and graduated from Western High School in Las Vegas, NV. He attended and played football at the University of Nevada, Reno until plagued with a knee injury. He went on to pursue his education and played football for Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California and the University of Ft. Lewis in Durango, Colorado where he received his Associates Degree.

Ken was a hard-working man and successful business owner. He was a driven risk taker and ventured into a few types of businesses before deciding to focus solely on fostering a prosperous restaurant cleaning business with his brothers, Derrick and Larry, and best-friend, Van Collins. He enjoyed owning his own business and was very proud of his success in this endeavor.

He was a virtuous man of integrity and honor with a big heart that was pure and soulful.

His soul touched many lives and he was well-loved and respected by many. His sense of humor, smile and laugh was infectious. The wisdom and advice that was often requested and shared was priceless and well-received by many. Everything he did in life came from a place of warmth and kindness.
