With the deepest sadness we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather Ken. The Lord took him home Sunday, July 31 at 5:53 a.m.

No more pain peace at last.

Ken has gone to be with his parents, George and Selina; his brothers, George, Edward, Sid, Herb and Jack; as well as other family and friends.
Left to morn are his wife of 55 years, Hope, daughter Faith (Richard) Porth, son Robert, son Jonathan, daughter Joy (Jeff) Cannon, son Frederick (Cyndi); grandchildren, Samantha (Denis) Thomson, Alicia, Jennifer (Andrew) Braun, Austin, Alex, Hazel, Isabelle, Thor; and great-grandson William. Ken is also survived by his brother David (Marylou), brothers-in-law, Oliver, Trnka, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Ken was deeply religious and was involved as crucifer server and choir member of St. Michael and All Angels and St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church.
Ken was also involved with Scouting and numerous positions and groups in St. Vital. His call to fame as he called it was being related to Terry Fox and he never tired of bragging about it to whoever would listen.
