My life's been full, I savoured so much; good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now, he set me free."

After marrying his wife Dawn in 1998, Ken moved back to Gordon First Nation where he always remained deeply rooted.

His greatest pleasure was hunting and most favorite time of year was fall where he would walk endless hours with nature and he would often comment about how intrigued he was by its beautiful landscapes. His love of life could be seen in everything he did: from hunting and golfing, to cooking and politics. His generous spirit, quick wit and wonderful sense of humour will always be cherished by those who knew him. In particular, his facebook friends who looked forward to his daily posts of teasing, his words of encouragement, and to his words of reflection and wisdom. Ken we will miss the sound of your laughter. We will miss your stories and the teasing. We will miss your compassion and commitment and your strength and courage.
