In his later years, he settled down in Choctaw, OK, retired from Terminix as Pest Control Manager. He was a member of Choctaw Road Baptist Church, where he was baptized.

He had a charismatic personality and loved to sing and dance. He enjoyed lake time and fishing with family. His vacation time in South Texas turned into their winter getaway which he loved so much. He was competitive and loved games. He enjoyed a wide range of activities from football, skiing, golf and racquetball to name a few. He will be greatly missed but his memories will be cherished until we meet again.

The family would like to thank Dr. Showalter, the entire Integris cancer team and all the staff at Integris Health Edmond who cared for Kenneth and supported his family during his difficult fight with cancer and allowed him to die with dignity and grace.
