Preceded in death by his parents: Marie and Lester Fields

After graduating from Norwood High School in 1964 he then went on to get his graduate degree in business. After graduating, he sold life insurance and was the youngest sales manager for Met Life Insurance Company. He joined State Auto to lead life insurance training among State Auto agents with the goal of increasing sales for the company. While at State Auto he started the Pace Setter program with Dianne Masterson to teach students how to perform at the highest level in the industry. This program influenced many future insurance agents throughout the years. Then in January 2025 he partnered with Diane to create Elite Training and Consulting and their first product - The Elite Producer Sales Development Program. He was a counselor, teacher, and cared deeply about the outcome of his students.

Ken married his beloved wife, Lynda, on December 19, 2009. Lynda was the love of his life, his cherished partner for 16 years, and his best friend. Ken will forever be remembered as the devoted husband who filled her days with love. He often said Lynda was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Ken loved his family. Although he was an only child growing up, he grew to embrace the chaos of his children and grandchildren. His happiest and most cherished moments occurred when he was in the company of his relatives. His family will miss his booming laughter, welcoming presence, and empathetic feelings towards all people (including dogs).

Ken's home was often a sanctuary for rescued animals. He found comfort in the loyalty of his animal companions. Often the most unlovable of dogs found their way into his heart, and they were wrapped around his finger. Animals did no wrong, according to Ken, and he was loyal to his companions to the very end.

His family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the ASPCA to continue his legacy of compassion for animals in need.

Arrangements to be made at a later date.
