Kenneth "Ken" Lee Nunn

Ken was born on March 22, 1940, in Louisville, Kentucky to Grace and Richard Nunn. Ken was raised in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Ken attended Clarksville High School and when he was 16 years old, he met the love of his life, Leah Blades. Ken and Leah married in 1962, and they were married for 60 years when Leah passed in 2022.

He will be dearly missed by his children – Vicky Nunn Jarrett (Brad), David Nunn (Evelina) and his grandchildren, Katelynn Nunn (Eithan) and Jimmy Nunn. Ken is also survived by his sisters, Janice Morrow (Carl), Sandra Mantey, Patricia Kelly (Patrick) and his favorite puppy, Toby.

He was preceded in death by his long-time love, his wife Leah; his parents, Grace Boehm and Richard Nunn (Wanda), his sister, Barbara Nunn, his brother-in-law, James Mantey, his parents-in-law, Harold and Juanita Blades and his sister-in-law, Marilea Isgrigg.

His family would like to thank the amazing caregivers who supported, loved, and cared for him over the past few months.

Ken’s beginnings were challenging. Ken grew up in a single-mother household in the poorest section of Jeffersonville, IN. Ken regularly commented how often he was in trouble – even to be arrested for stealing a set of golf clubs as a teenager. Luckily for him, Ken met his wife-to-be, Leah, while in high school. Leah insisted that Ken change his ways. Ken did change his ways and readily admits that was the smartest decision he ever made.

Ken attended Indiana University and received a business degree and a law degree. Ken opened his law office in 1967, with only a card table and folding chairs for furniture. From that meager start, Ken built one of the most recognizable and robust personal injury law firms in the state of Indiana, serving the entire state of Indiana. Ken was one of the pioneers to embrace advertising for personal injury lawyers. Ken always felt the need to make sure the everyday person had information and education as to their legal rights.

Ken’s decision to become a lawyer came after he watched the classic movie “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Ken speaks of how that movie affected him so greatly that he made up his mind that day to become a lawyer and to fight for his clients – even when the odds are against him.

Ken carried that desire throughout his legal career. Ken imparted that desire and that passion to his attorneys and his staff. More importantly, Ken imparted that desire and passion to the thousands and thousands of clients represented by him and the Ken Nunn Law Office.

Ken’s legacy will continue through his daughter Vicky; through his grandchildren who will soon be part of the law office; and through the attorneys and staff that are all an integral part of Ken Nunn Law Office. Ken absolutely wanted the Ken Nunn Law Office to persevere and continue to fight hard for the clients.

Ken remembered his childhood in Jeffersonville, and, with his success, he gave back to the community. He supported several charities, most notably the Boys and Girls Club. Ken remembered getting a bicycle from the Boys and Girls Club as a child and was deeply committed to that continuing tradition. Ken made sure that everyone who needed a bicycle was given a bicycle. Ken never wanted any child to be left out. Ken even made sure that helmets were included.

Ken was many things to many people. Ken was a husband, father, grandfather, advocate, boss, and friend. Ken was generous. Ken was driven. Ken was determined. Ken will be missed by all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, if you would like to honor Ken’s loving kindness, please do so by making a charitable donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington, P.O. Box 1716, Bloomington, IN 47402.
