Kenneth "Ken or Kenny" Louis Harding

Ken was born on December 11, 1960, at Presbyterian Hospital in Denver, Colorado, to Janice Harding and Louis Harding, who preceded him in death in 2024. He was raised in the Denver area and graduated from Sheridan High School in 1979.

Ken began working at the age of 16 and spent much of his life in the retail grocery industry and building maintenance. He took pride in his work and believed strongly in earning his way through dedication and persistence.

Faith was an important part of Ken’s life. He was baptized on February 26, 1961, at Brace Lutheran Church in Englewood, Colorado. A devoted Christian, Ken often attended services at the Englewood Church of Christ.

Ken lived most of his life in Littleton and Englewood, Colorado. He had a deep love for Denver sports and rarely missed cheering on his favorite teams — the Broncos, Nuggets, Avalanche, and Rockies. However, his true passion was All-Star Wrestling, and he was a devoted fan of WWE.

Ken was known for his friendly nature and warm personality. He never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with just about anyone. Proud and hardworking, Ken was always striving to better himself. Those who knew him best describe him in three simple words: " A gentle soul."

Ken is survived by his mother, Janice Harding; his siblings, Cheryl (Tim) Czarnek, Brad Harding, and Greg (Susan) Harding; his nieces and nephews, Scott (Kacey) Czarnek, Lindsey (Jeremiah Bowe) Czarnek, Ashley (Derek) Derossett, and Skylar (Kara) Harding; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, Brooke and Cole Czarnek, Joeylynn Bowe, Cash, Evelyn, Vivian and Winston Derossett, and Ellie Harding.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
