Kenneth D Surratt was born to Daniel and Iva Surratt on September 29, 1927 in Denver, CO. He finished his earthly journey on September 10, 2022 at his home in Loveland, CO. Ken was united in marriage to Phebe Benjamin on May 27, 1950 in Shelby, MT.
He gave his heart to the Lord at the age of 20 in a Gospel Meeting in Denver. In his words he said, ‘I professed on 9/29/47 in the Frank Smith’s home in Denver. Annie Dodds talked to me for ½ hour before dinner on a Sunday’. Since that day he grew in a great love for all and desired to help everyone to love the God he did. Ken and Phebe had fellowship meetings in their home and they also had some evenings of singing around a piano. He helped in a little café they owned in Fort Lupton and had many opportunities to visit with many of the town’s people. In his lifetime he had many jobs, he had his own little Small Appliance repair shop, farmed for over 20 years, was on the EMT for four years, worked as a maintenance man at the Brighton Care home and also at Mary Blair Elementary School in Loveland. He retired from driving a truck for Texaco and had other odd jobs. He didn’t like to be idle.
His parents preceded him in death and also his wife of 70 years. His brother, Lyle Dale Surratt and wife, Cheryl and two grandchildren, Kristine and Jeremy, also preceded him in death.
Left to share memories are his sister, Darlene Jensen (and husband Wayne) of Winside, NE; four children, Dan (and wife Karen) of Colorado Springs, Connie Surratt of Loveland, Sandy Olivas of Greeley, CO and Randy Surratt (and wife Diane) of Greeley, CO; seven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. He is also survived by many other relatives and friends.
The family would like to thank the staff of INNOVAGE that helped with his care. Also Bristol Hospice for their help towards the end. Special thanks to all the relatives and friends for your thoughts, care and messages of encouragement and sympathy.
