Kenneth Ronald Speer

1938-2021

With sadness, we announce Ken’s passing on July 2nd, 2021. Born in Vancouver on June 8, 1938, Ken grew up in Burnaby B.C. He joined the navy for five years and then spent most of his working life in mining. It was while working in Labrador that he met and married Shirley in January 1966. In 1969 they moved to Tasu B.C and in 1972 on to Logan Lake to work for Lornex, now Highland Valley Copper. Ken retired in 1993. Ken then started working for Freeport MacMoRan in Indonesia in 1994 and returned to Kamloops in 1997.

During his retirement, Ken enjoyed spending time in his garden, fishing, carving, or with his family.

Ken is survived by his wife Shirley, Son Paul (Lilian), Son Gordon, Granddaughter, Kelti (Tanner), Grandson, Hardy, Brothers Gary (Carol), Ken, Jerry, Clyde (Phyllis), and Sister Kathy (Al). As well as Nieces and Nephews.

Ken will be remembered by his friends and family for his humour, hard work-ethic, and kind heart. He will be greatly missed by his family.

Celebration of life will be held for family and close friends at later date. In place of flowers donations to the Kamloops Hospice society if desired.

Ken, Dad, Papa you will be greatly missed. We hope the fish are biting up there. Love you always and forever.
