He proudly served in the United States Army as a combat engineer from 1948 until his honorable discharge in 1952.

Ken believed in honest work, strong values, and providing for his family through dedication and perseverance. His work ethic was admired by those who knew him and stood as an example to others.

Ken also had a deep love for travel and adventure. He especially enjoyed traveling in his motorhome, making journeys across the country from Alaska to Florida to California and many places in between. Those travels brought him great joy and reflected his independent spirit and love of seeing new places.

Ken was married to his beloved wife, Mary Ann Evans, for 62 wonderful years. Together they built a life centered on love, commitment, and family. He was a proud father to his son, Mike Evans, and a loving father-in-law to Janet.

He was also a cherished grandfather to Jennifer (Paul) Bygness, Stefanie (Will) Connors, Kristina Nicholls, and Troy (Jamie) Welsh, all of whom brought him great pride and joy.

After the passing of his wife, Ken found companionship and happiness spending the next 10 years with Marvis Record. Their time together brought comfort, friendship, and joy during the later years of his life.

He will be remembered for his strength, dependability, and the quiet way he showed love through his actions. His legacy of hard work, service, adventure, and devotion to family will live on in those who knew and loved him.
