Ken was born on June 21, 1936 in Dade Co., GA, a son of the late Charles and Ola Kitchen Coates.
Kenneth spent his younger years in Tennessee and Georgia, and lived in Florida several years before moving to High Point, NC. Ken loved to laugh and tell stories of his younger days. He liked to hunt, fish, and camp. He was always there to help when needed. He loved the mountains and often spoke of his family there. If you had the privilege to know him, then you will never forget him. Ken will be spoken of for years to come and will forever be missed.
Kenneth is preceded in death by his wife of 45 years, Brenda Coates and three sons.
Kenneth is survived by six daughters, 15 grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren.
