Ken was a member of Central Baptist Church of Livingston, where he and his wife Cindy volunteered many years in the youth department. Ken enjoyed serving in this ministry, especially when it came to the various local, state and international outreach and mission trips. One of his passions was serving in mission work.
Ken commuted and worked in Houston most of his life. He attended North Harris County College and BOMA (Building Owners and Managers) Trade School to study and complete each of their air conditioning and building engineer programs. Ken was a Stationary Building Engineer for the Houston Center Complex in downtown Houston for 20 years. Ken was excited to hear that a chilled water plant was being built to provide air conditioning to what is now Minute Maid Park. He worked for CenTrio Energy providing air conditioning for the Astros and various other high-rise buildings in downtown Houston for 25 years as a Lead Stationary Engineer.
Family was the most important thing to Ken. He enjoyed hunting with his boys and also enjoyed gardening, mowing the pasture and taking care of the family farm.
Our deepest appreciation goes to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Altus Hospice Care, Central Baptist Church, CenTrio Energy, Onalaska I.S.D. and many family and friends that prayed for our family through Ken’s battle with cancer.
The family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to local, state or international missions in his honor.
