Ken will be missed by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. It is with great sadness that Ken has left us. He has touched all of our hearts and will always be remembered as a loving family man and true gentleman. Ken grew up on a farm in Blytheswood and attended Blytheswood Public School. In his teens he gladly attended UMEI where he excelled in academics, music, and sports.After School, he went on to the University of Guelph where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. When he completed his education, Ken followed his passion and began farming. He worked along side of his father Peter and his brothers Ron and Ed. This became known as 4E Farms. Along with farming, Ken devoted much of his time to his other passion, volunteerism. His service work included board director for UMEI, committee work for North Leamington United Mennonite Church, president of Southpoint Minor Hockey, and currently held the position of vice-chairman of OPVGA. Among his many passions was his love of music and singing in small groups and choirs, farming, sports (hockey, baseball, and golf). He was an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Closest to his heart was spending time with his family. Ken was gentle, compassionate, and patient. He was a peace maker and a firm and honest communicator. All who knew him loved him.
