Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKENNETH EDWIN BADGER May 17, 1961 December 3, 2008 On December 3, 2008, in the manner that he was born, Ken passed away in Calgary at the age of 47, prematurely. Born in Winnipeg, MB on May 17, 1961, who would have guessed the tiny orange preemie would grow to be such a big man. He graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1984, working in Winnipeg, Saudi Arabia, Halifax, Connecticut, and lastly in Calgary at the Foothills ER. Ken's ability to make people laugh, his quick wit, his generosity and willingness to help out putting others before himself endeared Ken to all who knew him. Ken is survived by his mother, Shirley Badger in Gimli, MB; sisters, Carol Martin and Janice (Dennis) Weiss; niece, Jennifer (Andrew) Percy and their children, Zoe, Bryanna, and Gabriel (his buffet partner); best friend and Ya-Ya sister Allison Murdoch-Schon; god-daughters, Emily and Claire; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Ken's final resting place will be along side his beloved Dad in Shoal Lake, MB. Funeral Services will be held at a later date. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

Shocked to read about Ken's death. I have been working in Saudi and we shared the same house on the compound. Ken has always been very helpful in making me understand the American Healthcare system, (which was new to me, coming from the Netherlands). I hope you as relatives and friends will have peace with it. Wishing you all the best! Joost - Posted by: Joost Marinus van Pelt (Room mate of Ken in Riyadh; Saudi Arabia (1993-1997)) on: Jun 13, 2012
