Ken was born in Cleveland, Mississippi, but spent most of his life in Cullman, Alabama. He was a man of many loves and interests – cars, motorcycles, and the great outdoors -- all of which spawned great conversation, but his true passion was always music. He was an accomplished musician, playing in numerous bands in the North Alabama area starting in his early twenties. For many years, he played guitar and horns with the band, Horizon, and made many lifetime friendships with band members and from his association with fellow music lovers. Many appreciated Ken’s beautiful voice and his gift for singing in a range from bass to tenor. He loved his children and grandchildren, spending as much time as he could with them and sharing his many interests.
